The interrupting capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V and still delivers 75.6 kA at 415 V, which gives you solid SCCR headroom for high-fault service entrances or industrial feeders. The 3-pole design suits three-phase feeders, and the integrated shunt trip (STL) plus two auxiliary switches and a trip alarm switch let you remote-trip or signal the breaker state without adding external relays. ## Footprint and panel integration That 3-inch width per pole is standard for this frame class — it'll drop into a 3-pole slot in a SENTRON distribution board or a DIN-rail adapter without re-drilling the gland plate. The shunt trip and auxiliary switch pack adds about one module width on the side; factor that into your wireway fill if you're packing the enclosure tight.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-4EF36-0JH0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-4EF36-0JH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, 121 kA interrupting at 240 V.
