Breaking capacity hits 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and still holds 11.9 kA up at 690 V, so it handles high-fault industrial panels without cascading upstream. At 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, and 70 mm deep, this MCCB occupies a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — it mounts on a DIN rail or direct panel with the SENTRON mounting accessories.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-3EF32-0KA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16A 3-Pole 75.6kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-3EF32-0KA0 molded case circuit breaker, 16A rated at 40°C, 3-pole, 75.6kA breaking at 240V.
