Product details

It carries a 16 A rating at 40 °C, with no derating needed up to 55 °C — at 60 °C it still holds 15 A, so it keeps its full rating through most normal panel ambient conditions. Breaking capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and 32 kA at 440 V — numbers that put it squarely in the high-interrupting category for industrial feeder and subfeeder duty. At 500 V and 690 V it still delivers 11.9 kA, so it handles motor branch circuits on 480 V delta systems without a problem.

Panel builders can plan around 130 mm height. Power loss is 13.1 W maximum — modest enough that ventilation spacing in a typical enclosure is adequate.

That covers most indoor and outdoor enclosure environments without special derating.

Compliance documentation

As a Siemens SENTRON product, this MCCB carries the usual compliance package: UL 489, CSA C22.2 No. 5, IEC 60947-2, and CE marking. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation portals.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1196-3EF32-0DC0?

Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ. Submit a request through the storefront for a current quote — this part is sourced through independent distribution channels.

What is the closest functional alternative to 3VA1196-3EF32-0DC0?

The 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 is a sibling in the same SENTRON 3VA family, but it is a different frame size and rating. The 3VA1196-3EF32-0DC0 is a 16 A, 3-pole MCCB with 75.6 kA at 240 V; the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 has different current and breaking capacity ratings. They are not drop-in substitutes without checking the panel schedule and fault current requirements.

Will 3VA1196-3EF32-0DC0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0?

Not without verification. While both are SENTRON 3VA MCCBs, the frame sizes and interrupting ratings differ. The 3VA1196-3EF32-0DC0 is a 16 A, 75.6 kA at 240 V device; the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 has different ratings. Check the panel's fault current and load schedule before substituting.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

Standard documentation includes UL 489, CSA C22.2 No. 5, IEC 60947-2, CE marking, plus RoHS and REACH declarations available from Siemens.
