Siemens 3VA1096-2ED32-0KA0 — SENTRON MCCB with Shunt Trip
Breaking capacity is 52.5 kA at 240 V AC, 32 kA at 415 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — so it handles high fault currents on the secondary side of a typical 480 V distribution transformer without needing an upstream current-limiting fuse. Power loss at rated load is 10.6 W maximum — manageable in a crowded enclosure but worth checking against your panel's thermal budget if you're stacking several breakers.
Integration Notes
Dimensions are 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — fits a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint on a DIN rail or panel-mount base. The shunt trip (STL) allows a remote emergency-stop or PLC-driven trip signal; no undervoltage release is fitted on this variant. No communication function or ground-fault monitoring on this base model — it's a straightforward thermal-magnetic breaker with a remote trip coil.
