SENTRON 3VA1096-3ED32-0AD0 — 16 A MCCB with TM210 release
Its interrupting capacity is rated across four voltage levels: 75.6 kA at 240 V AC, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — so it can be applied in 400 V class distribution without worrying about fault current escalation upstream.
Temperature derating and panel integration
Above that, current must be reduced: 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. In a sealed panel with internal heat rise, the 55 °C column is the realistic operating point for most industrial enclosures — plan for 15.36 A continuous, not the 16 A nameplate. Footprint is 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame that fits the DIN-rail mounting grid.
Auxiliary contacts and lifecycle
This variant ships with three HQ auxiliary switches integrated — no separate aux contact block to order. The auxiliary contact version is stated as 3 auxiliary switches HQ, which provides status feedback for the main contacts without adding wiring layers. For a line-protection MCCB that cycles infrequently — typically fewer than a few hundred operations per year — this is adequate. It is not designed for frequent switching duty like a contactor. No phase-out or last-time-buy notice is indicated for this order code.
