That's a tight thermal curve; the breaker runs at full nameplate in most enclosure conditions without oversizing. Front IP40 protection means it's splash-safe from the front but not sealed against dust ingress into the enclosure. At 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm tall, this 4-pole breaker fits standard MCCB panel cutouts. No communication module or motor drive option — this is a straight line-protection breaker with thermal-magnetic overcurrent release (TM220). The N-conductor protection is not integrated, so four-pole protection is handled across all poles equally.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VM1196-3EE42-0AA0 4-Pole MCCB, 16 A, 76 kA at 240 V","metaDescription":"SENTRON 3VM1196-3EE42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 16 A rated, 76 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
