The 121 kA at 240 V gives substantial headroom for North American panels with high transformer fault contributions. The TM240 release is fixed, not adjustable — set it and forget it for straightforward thermal-magnetic coordination. ## Temperature derating — real-world continuous current Above that, derate linearly: 15.36 A at 55 °C, 15.04 A at 60 °C, 14.72 A at 65 °C, and 14.4 A at 70 °C. ## Built-in trip indicator and auxiliary contacts","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-4EF32-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-4EF32-0AF0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A, 3-pole, 121 kA at 240 V.
