The thermal-magnetic trip unit is a TM240 ATAM, with overload protection adjustable from 11 A to 16 A (Ir) and short-circuit protection set at 10 to 20 times In (Ii). That means for a 16 A In, the magnetic pickup ranges from 160 A to 320 A — sized for motor-starting inrush or transformer magnetizing current without nuisance tripping, but verify coordination with downstream branch breakers. The TM240 ATAM trip unit is field-replaceable without removing the breaker from the bus. Terminals accept copper or aluminum conductors up to the frame's rated cross-section; torque values are marked on the breaker face. The nut keeper kit is a mechanical retention feature for the terminal screws — useful in high-vibration environments like DC power OEM skids.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF32-0AA0-ZD00 3VA1 IEC Frame 160 MCCB, 55k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF32-0AA0-ZD00 circuit breaker, 3VA1 IEC frame 160, class M Icu=55kA @ 415V, 3-pole, TM240 ATAM, In=16A.
