That 17 kA floor at 690 V still covers most industrial motor branch circuits. For a 400 V panel, the 121 kA figure gives ample SCCR headroom for a main breaker feeding downstream feeders — selectivity coordination with smaller 3VA frame sizes is straightforward because the TM240 release curve is documented in the SENTRON selectivity manual. Rated 16 A from 40 °C through 55 °C ambient; at 60 °C it derates to 15 A, holding at 15 A through 70 °C. That flat derating curve means no surprise trip in a warm enclosure as long as the continuous load stays at or below 15 A above 55 °C. Dimensions are 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — standard 3VA1 frame footprint, mounts on a DIN rail or panel-mount adapter. Power loss is 13.1 W maximum, manageable in a sealed cabinet without forced ventilation. ## Undervoltage release and auxiliary options No voltage-trigger or communication function on this order code; no ground-fault monitoring. The basic switch design is 3VA11965EF320AA0, so any auxiliary switch or shunt trip accessory that fits that base will work here. ## Environmental and insulation ratings Rated insulation voltage 800 V, operating range -25 °C to 70 °C, storage from -40 °C to 80 °C. For compliance documentation, the SENTRON 3VA series carries UL 489, CSA C22.2 No. 5, and IEC 60947-2 certifications; RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF32-0DA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF32-0DA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC.
