The 76 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC means it can safely clear a fault up to that level without upstream cascading — critical for high-fault panels where the available short-circuit current is substantial. At 415 V AC the interrupting rating is 53 kA, still well above typical industrial service-entrance levels. The 70 mm depth and 50.8 mm width fit standard DIN-rail or panel-mount footprints; IP40 on the front keeps dust out of the enclosure face. ## Deployment context Designed for line protection in distribution panels, this MCCB mounts on DIN rail or directly to a backplate. The 2-pole configuration suits single-phase or two-wire DC circuits up to 250 V DC. Rated insulation voltage is 500 V, so it handles standard 400 VAC three-phase panels with margin. No undervoltage release, no ground-fault monitoring — it's a straightforward thermal-magnetic breaker for branch-circuit protection.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1196-3ED22-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 2-pole, 16 A, 76 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1196-3ED22-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 2-pole, 16 A, 76 kA at 240 V AC.
