The 220 kA breaking capacity at 240 V is the headline number, but the real-world interrupting capability drops to 154 kA at 415 V and 121 kA at 440 V; at 500 V and 690 V it still holds 17 kA, which covers most industrial distribution faults without cascading upstream. The 3VA1196-6EE46-0AA0 measures 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm tall — a standard MCCB footprint for a 4-pole frame.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-6EE46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 4-Pole, 16 A, 220 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-6EE46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 16 A rated, 220 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
