Interrupting capacity reaches 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V — numbers that govern selectivity coordination in a main or feeder panel. The 70 mm depth, 101.6 mm width, and 130 mm height match the standard 3VA footprint, so a panel laid out for a 3VA1110 frame accepts this unit without busbar or mounting rework. ## Installation and environmental limits Rated insulation voltage 800 V, front-side IP40 protection — suitable for a dry indoor panel enclosure. Maximum power loss 10.6 W — factor into enclosure thermal budget.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-4EF42-0AA0 MCCB, 4P, 16 A, 121 kA at","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-4EF42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 16 A, 121 kA interrupting at 240 V.
