Rated current holds at 16 A from 40 °C through 55 °C ambient, then derates to 15 A at 60 °C through 70 °C — a thermal plateau that matters when the breaker is packed into a warm enclosure with other heat sources. Interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V AC, 76 kA at 440 V AC, and 17 kA at 500 V AC; the 415 V and 440 V numbers are the ones that govern for most European and Asian industrial distribution panels. ## Panel integration and thermal budget The 3VM1196-5EE32-0AA0 measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep — a compact 3-pole footprint that fits standard DIN-rail or panel-mount arrangements. Maximum power loss is 11 W at rated load; that loss dissipates into the enclosure air, so factor it into the panel's thermal calculation when grouping multiple breakers. The 70 mm depth leaves clearance for rear-connected busbars or cable duct behind the mounting plate.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1196-5EE32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 3-Pole, 16A, 187kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1196-5EE32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 16A rated, 187kA interrupting at 240V AC.
