It provides line protection via a TM220 thermal-magnetic trip unit, with adjustable overload protection (Ir) from 11 A to 16 A and a fixed short-circuit protection (Ii) set at 20 times In. The 16 A rating and adjustable overload band (11–16 A) let you match the breaker to a specific load current, while the 20x In instantaneous trip catches hard shorts fast. The unprotected N conductor is a deliberate choice for delta or corner-grounded systems where neutral protection is not required. This class of IEC-frame breaker is typically installed in distribution panels, motor control centers, and OEM machinery enclosures for branch-circuit protection. The 4-pole configuration suits three-phase systems with a switched neutral, common in European and Asian panel designs. The nut keeper kit and DC Power OEM designation suggest it was specified for a specific Chinese OEM build — verify the mounting and terminal arrangement against your panel's busbar or cable interface.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-4EE42-0AA0-ZD00 Circuit Breaker, 16A, 36kA @","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-4EE42-0AA0-ZD00 IEC frame 160 circuit breaker, 16A, 36kA breaking capacity at 415V, 4-pole, TM220 overload.
