The fixed Ir=16 A and fixed Ii=20 x In (320 A short-circuit pickup) mean no field-adjustable dials — what you order is what you get, which eliminates calibration drift on a line but also means you need to confirm the load's inrush won't nuisance-trip the magnetic element. ## Deployment and integration context This breaker is designed for panel mounting within an IEC switchgear assembly. The 3VA1 frame uses a standard screw-clamp terminal pattern; the nut keeper kit included with this variant (ZD00 suffix) is a detail for the DC Power OEM channel in China — it keeps the terminal nuts captive during wiring, which saves time on a repetitive assembly line. No DIN-rail clip on this frame; it bolts into the panel bus or onto a mounting plate. The 3-pole configuration suits three-phase loads — motor branch circuits, distribution feeders, or transformer primaries — where the TM210 curve provides thermal protection for overloads and magnetic protection for short circuits.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-4ED32-0AA0-ZD00 Circuit Breaker, 16A, 36kA @","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-4ED32-0AA0-ZD00 IEC frame 160 circuit breaker, 3-pole, 16A, 36kA breaking capacity @ 415V.
