That flat 16 A band from 40 to 55 °C is useful in a warm panel — you don't lose headroom until the enclosure interior passes 55 °C. ## Breaking capacity — the number that decides fault clearance The 121 kA figure at 240 V is exceptionally high for a 1-pole 16 A MCCB — it means this breaker can safely interrupt a fault on a high-capacity 240 V supply without the arc re-striking or the case rupturing. At 415 V the 9 kA rating is more typical for a 16 A frame; coordination studies should use the 415 V value for three-phase line-to-line faults.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-5ED12-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 1-pole, 16 A, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-5ED12-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 1-pole, 16 A rated, TM210 release, 121 kA breaking at 240 V.
