The Siemens 3VA1096-2ED36-0DA0 is a SENTRON 3VA molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated 16 A continuous at 40 °C, with a TM210 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release and an integrated undervoltage release (UVR). The 16 A rating holds flat across 40–55 °C ambient, then derates to 15 A at 60–70 °C — so in a warm panel near the top of a cabinet, you lose 1 A of headroom, not the whole rating. Breaking capacity runs 52.5 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 415 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V, which covers most industrial distribution panels for fault-current coordination downstream of a transformer. Three-pole construction, IP40 on the front face — rated for indoor panel mounting where the enclosure provides the environmental seal.
Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a compact 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits standard Siemens 3VA panel cutouts and busbar systems. The TM210 release is fixed thermal-magnetic, not electronic, so no auxiliary power supply needed for the trip unit; the undervoltage release (UVR) does require a separate control voltage connection.
