Siemens 3VA1096-4ED32-0AC0 – 16 A SENTRON MCCB for Line Protection
The Siemens 3VA1096-4ED32-0AC0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for line protection, carrying a continuous rated current of 16 A up to 55 °C before derating begins at 60 °C. Its interrupting capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V, dropping to 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V — numbers that tell you this breaker handles high-fault scenarios at lower voltages without cascading upstream.
Panel Fit – Dimensions and Integration
The 16 A rating holds steady through 55 °C ambient; at 60 °C it derates to 15 A, and at 70 °C it still carries 15 A — useful if the panel sits near a heat source or in a non-conditioned space.
