16 A SENTRON MCCB with shunt trip — panel-fit specs and thermal limits
At 240 V it interrupts 75.6 kA; at 415 V that drops to 52.5 kA; at 440 V it's 32 kA; at 690 V it's 7.5 kA. For a 16 A frame those are strong numbers — it'll handle high-fault service-entrance or distribution panels, not just downstream subfeeds. It holds a full 16 A from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then steps down: 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. If your panel hits 60 °C regularly, you're giving up about an amp.
Mounting and integration — DIN-rail footprint and IP40 front
The 3VA1096-3ED32-0KH0 measures 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, and 70 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA footprint that clips onto DIN rail. The integrated shunt trip release is listed as order code 3VA9688-0BL33 — that's the factory-fit accessory inside this variant.
