The interrupting capacity hits 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, and 121 kA at 440 V — that's enough to clear high-fault scenarios upstream of a transformer or in a main feeder position. At 690 V it still breaks 17 kA, so it's not a one-voltage pony. If you need remote status or ground-fault protection, you're looking at a different variant in the 3VA family. The auxiliary contact version here is two HQ switches, which is enough to signal trip and position back to a PLC or indicator lamp. Above that it starts to step down: 15.36 A at 55 °C, 15.04 A at 60 °C, 14.72 A at 65 °C, and 14.4 A at 70 °C.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-6EF32-0AC0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 220 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-6EF32-0AC0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, TM240 release, 220 kA at 240 V.
