The TM220 release means the thermal (overload) pickup is fixed at 220 A, while the magnetic (short-circuit) pickup is adjustable; the 320 A frame gives headroom for derating or future load growth. At 240 V the 76 kA interrupting rating is high enough to serve as a main breaker in most low-voltage distribution panels without upstream fusing. At 415 V the 53 kA still covers typical industrial transformer secondary faults. The 3-pole design and 800 V rated insulation voltage suit it for three-phase systems up to 690 V line-to-line. The 3VM1196-3EE32-0AA0 occupies a 70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, and 130 mm height footprint — compact for a 320 A frame. Front IP40 protection means it's suited for enclosed panel mounting where tools or fingers won't contact live parts. Rated for -25 °C to 70 °C operating ambient; derate from 16 A at 40–55 °C down to 15 A at 60–70 °C.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1196-3EE32-0AA0 MCCB, 320 A, 3-Pole, TM22","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1196-3EE32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 320 A, 3-pole, TM220 release, breaking up to 76 kA at 240 V.
