The Siemens 3VA1096-3ED42-0AA0-ZD00 is a 4-pole IEC frame 100 molded case circuit breaker from the 3VA1 series, built for line protection with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit (TM210, FTFM). The 16 A continuous rating (Ir=16 A fixed) and instantaneous trip set at 20 x In (320 A) make this a straight feeder or distribution breaker, not an adjustable motor-protection device.
This breaker mounts in a standard IEC panel on a DIN rail or screw-fixed baseplate. For a 4-pole breaker at 16 A, expect the line and load terminals to accept up to 25 mm² conductor.
