At 55 °C it drops to 15.36 A, at 60 °C to 15.04 A, and at 70 °C to 14.4 A. If your panel runs hot near a drive or transformer bank, size the load at the 70 °C figure, not the nameplate 16 A. The adjustable time delay tr max. of 1 second on the thermal element lets you coordinate with downstream breakers on high-inrush loads like motor starters. The 3VA1196-5EF36-0AG0 measures 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, and 130 mm tall — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that drops into SENTRON panelboards and most DIN-rail or screw-mount backplates. It ships with an auxiliary switch and a separate trip alarm switch (1 aux + 1 trip alarm HP) for remote status indication. The trip indicator flag gives a visual cue without opening the door — handy when you're walking a route and want to spot a tripped breaker from arm's length.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF36-0AG0 SENTRON MCCB, 3-Pole, 16 A, TM240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF36-0AG0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 16 A rated, TM240 thermal-magnetic release, 187 kA at 240 V.
