At 440 V the breaker clears 40 kA; at 500 V it still holds 12 kA — this derating curve matters when the panel feeds a 480 V motor control center and the fault current at the bus exceeds 10 kA. ## Thermal Derating and Ambient Continuous current holds at 16 A from 40 °C up to 55 °C, then drops to 15 A at 60 °C and 14 A at 70 °C — a shallow derating curve that keeps the breaker usable in crowded enclosures without oversizing the frame. Maximum power loss is 11 W per pole, which adds up to 33 W total in a three-pole block — factor that into the enclosure thermal budget when grouping several breakers.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1096-4ED32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VM1096-4ED32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, TM210 release, 121 kA at 240 V.
