The Siemens 3VA1196-3EF32-0AA0-ZD00 is a 3-pole IEC frame 160 molded-case circuit breaker with a 25 kA ultimate breaking capacity (Icu) at 415 VAC, placing it in breaking capacity class N. The thermal-magnetic trip unit is a TM240 with a fixed rated current In of 16 A. Overload protection (Ir) is adjustable from 11 A to 16 A, and short-circuit protection (Ii) is fixed at 10 to 20 times In — so between 160 A and 320 A magnetic pickup. This adjustability lets the panel builder fine-tune the overload threshold to match the downstream cable or load without swapping the breaker body. The suffix ZD00 indicates a nut keeper kit included for DC Power OEM applications in China. The nut keeper is a mechanical aid for securing the breaker in a panel where the mounting screws are accessed from the rear — common in pre-wired DC power distribution assemblies.
