Interrupting capacity is the headline number here: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. The TM220 release is a fixed thermal-magnetic design — no interchangeable trip units, no electronic adjustment. Thermal element tracks the 16 A continuous rating across ambient temperatures from -25 °C to 70 °C, with a 1 A derating step at 60 °C (15 A from 60 °C through 70 °C). The magnetic pickup is fixed at the factory for the 16 A frame; you cannot dial it up for motor-starting inrush, so verify the load's inrush characteristic against the standard TM220 curve before committing to the BOM. The 3-pole form factor handles three-phase circuits.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EE36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16A 3P, 187kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-5EE36-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 16A rated, 3-pole, TM220 release.
