The 16 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C; above that it derates linearly to 14.4 A at 70 °C. The 76.2 mm width (3-inch pitch) fits standard MCCB panel cutouts and bus-bar spacing.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-4EF32-0AC0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 121 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-4EF32-0AC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
