The interrupting rating drops as system voltage rises: 121 kA at 240 VAC, 76 kA at 415 VAC, 53 kA at 440 VAC, and 12 kA at 500 VAC. For a 400 V distribution board with a prospective fault current of 65 kA, this breaker clears it. The TM210 release trips magnetically on short-circuit and thermally on overload; no trip indicator or communication function is built in. Rated current holds at 16 A from 40 °C to 55 °C, then steps down to 15 A from 60 °C to 70 °C. In a sealed enclosure with multiple breakers ganged, that derating matters — plan for the 15 A limit if ambient inside the panel hits 60 °C. Maximum power loss is 11 W per pole — negligible for thermal budgeting in most distribution boards. Lifecycle stage is listed as current — meaning Siemens still produces this order code as an active catalog item. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy date is on record. For a BOM line that needs this exact 3VM1196 variant, the supply channel is standard distribution; we source and quote against an RFQ with current pricing and lead time confirmed at time of order.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1196-4ED32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VM1196-4ED32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, TM210 release, 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC.
