At 415 V the interrupting rating drops to 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it's still 11.9 kA, so it covers both 400 V and 690 V industrial distribution without needing an upstream current-limiting fuse. The 16 A rating holds steady from 40 °C up to 55 °C — no derating needed in a warm enclosure — then drops to 15 A at 60 °C and above. Maximum power loss is 13.1 W, which matters for thermal management in a sealed panel with multiple breakers ganged together. Dimensions are 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size that fits the same DIN-rail or screw-mount footprint as other 3VA1 breakers. The 70 mm depth means it clears most shallow gland-plate enclosures, but always check the door-swing clearance if you're mounting it on a swing-panel. The two auxiliary switches provide independent NO/NC contacts for status feedback; no need to order separate accessory packs for basic signaling. If you need remote trip indication or ground-fault protection, you'd step up to a different 3VA variant with those options.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-4EF32-0DC0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-4EF32-0DC0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
