Its interrupting capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V AC, 76 kA at 415 V, 53 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 500 V — the S switching capacity class means it handles high fault currents typical of industrial distribution panels and motor control centers. The TM220 thermal-magnetic release provides LI protection (long-time and instantaneous), so it covers both overload and short-circuit faults without needing an external relay. Box terminals on the front simplify busbar or cable connections in a standard panel layout.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VM1196-4EE46-0AA2 MCCB, 16 A, 121 kA at 240 V","metaDescription":"SENTRON 3VM1196-4EE46-0AA2 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 4-pole, TM220 release, 121 kA at 240 V.
