Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-3EF32-0CH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 16 A continuous current, with a breaking capacity that reaches 75.6 kA at 240 V AC and 52.5 kA at 415 V AC.

This breaker's interrupting rating drops as system voltage rises — 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.

Thermal derating and continuous current

At 60 °C and 65 °C it drops to 15 A; at 70 °C it stays at 15 A. Maximum power loss is 13.1 W, which is modest for a 3-pole MCCB and won't drive significant internal heat rise in a standard enclosure.

Integrated undervoltage release and auxiliary switch complement

A trip indicator on the front face gives local visual confirmation without needing to read the aux contacts.
