That voltage-dependent curve means the same breaker can serve high-fault panels at lower voltages but needs coordination review when applied at 480/277 V or 690 V systems where the available fault current must stay under 11.9 kA. ## Thermal derating and release setup The TM210 thermal-magnetic release holds full 16 A rating from 45 °C through 55 °C ambient. At 60 °C it derates to 15 A, and holds that level through 70 °C. The adjustable short-circuit release (li) goes up to 320 A, giving flexibility to coordinate with downstream branch breakers. The N-conductor is protected at 100% rating, so this breaker handles full-phase unbalance on a 4-wire system without derating the neutral pole. Footprint is 101.6 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 4-pole MCCB envelope that drops into existing 3VA panel layouts without re-drilling. Front face carries IP40 protection (finger-safe, not sealed), so it belongs in a closed enclosure.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-3GD46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 4P, 16A, TM210, 75.","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-3GD46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 16 A, TM210 release, 75.6 kA at 240 V.
