Product details

Rated In = 16 A with a TM220 thermal-magnetic trip unit. The overload protection (Ir) is adjustable from 11 A to 16 A, so you set the continuous current limit to match the downstream cable or load without swapping the breaker body. Short-circuit protection (Ii) is fixed at 20 x In — 320 A magnetic pickup — which means it rides out motor inrush and transformer energization but trips fast on a bolted fault. The ATFM designation indicates the trip unit is the standard thermal-magnetic type with fixed instantaneous and adjustable thermal — no electronic adjustments, no communication module. That keeps the part simple for a fixed-load line where you don't need remote trip signaling or curve shaping.

Configuration specifics

Four poles, with the neutral (N) conductor unprotected — meaning the fourth pole is a switched neutral that follows the phase poles but has no overcurrent protection. This is common in TN-S or TN-C-S systems where the neutral is bonded to ground upstream and only needs isolation, not protection. The breaker also includes a nut keeper kit, specified for a DC Power OEM in China, which locks the terminal nuts against vibration in a transport or mobile application.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this breaker?

Icu = 25 kA at 415 V, breaking capacity class N per IEC 60947-2.

Where can I buy the 3VA1196-3EE42-0AA0-ZD00?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What does the TM220 trip unit mean?

TM220 is a thermal-magnetic trip unit with adjustable thermal overload (Ir = 11...16 A) and fixed instantaneous magnetic pickup at 20 x In (320 A). No electronic adjustments or communication.
