At 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm tall, this MCCB fits standard panel-mount cutouts for 4-pole breakers in the 16 A class. Rated continuous current holds at 16 A from 40 °C up to 55 °C, then derates to 15 A at 60 °C and 65 °C, and stays at 15 A up to 70 °C. That's a flat thermal curve — no surprise drop at 50 °C, which simplifies panel sizing in warm cabinets. Maximum power loss is 10.6 W. Listed as current production. The 3VA1196-6GD42-0AA0 is a line-protection variant with no communication module and no ground-fault monitoring — a straight thermal-magnetic MCCB for standard distribution.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-6GD42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 4-pole, 16 A, 220 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-6GD42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 16 A, 220 kA at 240 V.
