The 690 V rating (17 kA) confirms it can serve 690 V industrial grids, though the 440 V figure (75.6 kA) is the more common threshold for North American 480 V systems. Thermally, the 16 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C; above that it derates linearly to 14.4 A at 70 °C. The 3VA1196-5EF36-0JA0 measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size that mounts on a DIN rail or directly to a backplate via the integral latching mechanism. The 76.2 mm width (3 inches) occupies three 25.4 mm module positions on a DIN rail, matching the 3-pole footprint.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF36-0JA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-5EF36-0JA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A continuous, 3-pole, TM240 release, line protection.
