The 3VA1196-3GD42-0AA0 measures 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm tall. The 4-pole configuration covers three-phase-plus-neutral or three-phase with a switched neutral, depending on your system design.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-3GD42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 4-Pole, TM210","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-3GD42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 4-pole, TM210 thermal-magnetic release, 75.6 kA at 240 V.

The 'TM' indicates thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection; '210' is the Siemens release code for this current rating and characteristic. It's designed for line protection, not motor or generator protection."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1196-3GD42-0AA0?","answer":"Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry UL, CSA, CE, and IEC certifications.
