The interrupting capacity is the headline number here: 187 kA at 240 V AC, stepping down to 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V. The rated insulation voltage is 800 V, which covers 480/277 V and 600 V systems with margin, and the maximum power loss at rated current is 10.6 W — a figure to note when calculating enclosure heat rise in a sealed panel. The 3VA1196-5EF32-0JH0 measures 76.2 mm wide (3 in), 130 mm tall (5.12 in), and 70 mm deep (2.76 in). That 76.2 mm width is a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — it occupies three 25.4 mm module positions on a DIN rail, so it drops into a panel already laid out for 3VA1-series breakers without re-drilling the gland plate or re-spacing adjacent devices.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF32-0JH0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF32-0JH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.

The key difference is the rating: the 3VA1196-5EF32-0JH0 is a 16 A breaker, while the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 is a different current rating. Verify the load current and interrupting requirements before swapping — the panel wiring and busbar connections are compatible, but the protective settings must match the circuit."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA1196-5EF32-0JH0?","answer":"As a SENTRON MCCB, this breaker carries the standard Siemens declarations for RoHS and REACH compliance, and is designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 requirements.
