Product details

It's sized for 16 A continuous at 40 °C and holds that rating all the way up to 55 °C — only starts derating to 15 A at 60 °C and above. That means it handles warm panel environments without losing headroom. Interrupting capacity is the headline here: 52.5 kA at 240 V, dropping to 32 kA at 415 V, and still 7.5 kA at 690 V. That's serious fault-clearing ability for a 16 A frame — it will safely interrupt a high-energy short without cascading upstream.

This breaker occupies a 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep footprint — standard for the 3VA family. It's a panel-mount device, not a DIN-rail snap-on, so you'll need to account for mounting hardware and bus-bar connections.

What the TM210 trip means for coordination

The TM210 designation means a thermal-magnetic trip with a fixed thermal pickup at 16 A and a magnetic short-circuit pickup that's adjustable across a range (typically 5–10x In for this family).

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1096-2ED46-0AA0 at 240 V?

It's rated for 52.5 kA at 240 V, with 32 kA at 415 V and 7.5 kA at 690 V.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA1096-2ED46-0AA0?

The 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 is a similar 4-pole SENTRON MCCB but with a different trip rating and interrupting capacity. It will not drop into the same panel without verifying the trip curve and SCCR requirements — the footprint is shared, but the electrical ratings differ.

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1096-2ED46-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1096-2ED46-0AA0?
