At 60 °C it derates to 15 A, and it holds 15 A through 70 °C. That's a clean derating curve — you lose only 1 A across a 15 °C rise. For a panel running warm near the top of a switchgear lineup, you can still count on 15 A per pole without recalculating the whole bus. Maximum power loss is 10.6 W, which is modest for a 4-pole 16 A MCCB and won't drive extra ventilation in a typical enclosure. The 100% N-conductor protection design means the neutral pole is fully rated, not just a switching neutral — important for 4-wire systems where the neutral carries load current. ## Approvals and compliance documentation As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, this part carries IEC 60947-2 certification by design. Standard documentation includes a CE declaration of conformity and the manufacturer's device manual covering installation, coordination, and DC switching capability. For specific compliance documentation (RoHS, REACH, UL listing status), the manufacturer's Service & Support portal provides the current declarations — the device manual link is referenced in the last chapter of the 3VA molded case circuit breaker manual.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-5GE46-0AA0 4-Pole MCCB, 16 A, TM220,","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-5GE46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 16 A, TM220 release.
