Product details

The TM210 thermal-magnetic release gives fixed thermal pickup and magnetic trip at 10× In, so it's a straight replacement for a panelboard feeder or distribution branch where you don't need adjustable long-time delay. Breaking capacity reaches 52.5 kA at 240 V and 32 kA at 415 V, which covers most commercial and light-industrial service-entrance and sub-distribution applications without needing a current-limiting upstream device.

Rated continuous current holds at 16 A from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient, then derates to 15.36 A at 55 °C, 15.04 A at 60 °C, 14.72 A at 65 °C, and 14.4 A at 70 °C. If your enclosure runs hot — say a crowded panel near a furnace or in a non-conditioned electrical room — you lose about 1.6 A by the time you hit 70 °C. That's enough to nuisance-trip a fully loaded 16 A circuit; plan for the derated figure if the ambient is known to exceed 50 °C. Four HQ auxiliary switches are built in, giving status feedback for PLC or SCADA without an add-on module.

Integration and compliance notes

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies 3VA1096-2ED32-0AE0 and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

We source the 3VA1096-2ED32-0AE0 to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for volume pricing.

What is the depth of 3VA1096-2ED32-0AE0?

The depth is 70 mm, which matches the standard 3VA footprint for panel integration.

What is the width of 3VA1096-2ED32-0AE0?

The width is 76.2 mm, consistent with the 3VA family's DIN-rail or mounting-plate footprint.

Will 3VA1096-2ED32-0AE0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1010-2ED42-0AE0 without rewiring?

Physically the footprint is the same — same depth, width, and pole configuration — so it mounts in the same busbar or lug arrangement. But the 16 A rating of the 3VA1096-2ED32-0AE0 is much lower than the 100 A rating of the 3VA1010-2ED42-0AE0, so the branch circuit must be resized accordingly.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA1096-2ED32-0AE0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs are typically supplied with CE, UL, and CSA certifications, plus RoHS and REACH declarations. Specific documentation (declaration of conformity, test certificates) is available upon request with an RFQ.
