The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-2ED32-0BH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 16 A at 40 °C through 55 °C, derating to 15 A at 60 °C through 70 °C — so in a warm enclosure you lose 1 A above 55 °C, which matters when sizing for a continuous load near the limit. Breaking capacity is 52.5 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 32 kA at 415 V, 13.6 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at both 500 V and 690 V — the 415 V figure is the one most European industrial panels will care about for fault-current coordination.

Dimensions are 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — the 70 mm depth (2.76 in) is shallow enough for most 200 mm deep enclosures, leaving room for cable bending radii behind the breaker. A trip indicator is present — visible flag on the breaker face tells maintenance which pole tripped without needing to meter the load side.
