Product details

Panel integration and mounting

The 3VA1096-4ED42-0AA0 measures 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm high. That 101.6 mm width (4 inches) is a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint — it occupies four 25 mm (1-inch) module spaces on a DIN rail or mounting plate. The front face carries an IP40 protection class, meaning it's protected against tools and wires larger than 1 mm but not sealed against moisture. For a panel rework or retrofit, check that the existing busbar arrangement and phase spacing match a 4-pole device with this width. The rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the maximum DC operating voltage is 600 V, so it's suitable for DC distribution panels as well — though the manual should be consulted for DC-specific breaking capacity values.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1096-4ED42-0AA0 at 415 V?

76 kA at 415 V. The full voltage-dependent breaking capacity table is: 121 kA at 240 V, 76 kA at 415 V, 53 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.

What are the physical dimensions of this MCCB?

Depth 70 mm, width 101.6 mm, height 130 mm. The width corresponds to 4 inches, which is the standard 4-pole MCCB footprint on a DIN rail or mounting plate.
