Breaking capacity varies sharply with system voltage: 76 kA at 240 V, 53 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 8 kA at 500 V. At 415 V, that 53 kA covers most industrial secondary-distribution panels behind a transformer; at 500 V the 8 kA rating still clears a standard fault on a motor control centre bus. At 60 °C it drops to 15 A, at 65 °C to 14 A, and holds 14 A through 70 °C. If your panel runs hot near a drive bank, size the load at 14 A continuous to keep the breaker cool. Dimensions are 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a compact 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits standard SENTRON mounting bases and busbar systems. For a BOM freeze or critical-spare holding, the 3VM1096-3ED36-0AA2 is a safe line item. If you need a second-source gate, the closest functional peer in the SENTRON family is the 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 — same 3-pole form factor, same TM210 release, but check the interrupting rating at your system voltage before swapping part numbers.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1096-3ED36-0AA2 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, TM210","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1096-3ED36-0AA2 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, TM210 thermal-magnetic release.
