Product details

What this MCCB brings to a panel

It carries a breaking capacity of 75.6 kA at 240 V, stepping down to 52.5 kA at 415 V and 32 kA at 440 V, which gives you selectivity headroom against downstream branch devices in a 400 V industrial network.

Thermal derating and power dissipation

At 60 °C and 65 °C it derates to 15 A, and at 70 °C it stays at 15 A — so in a hot panel near the top of a cabinet, you lose 1 A of continuous capacity.

The 3VA1196-3GD42-0AA0 measures 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm tall. The 4-pole configuration covers three-phase-plus-neutral or three-phase with a switched neutral, depending on your system design.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1196-3GD42-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1196-3GD42-0AA0 at 415 V?

The breaking capacity is 52.5 kA at 415 V, with higher ratings at lower voltages (75.6 kA at 240 V) and lower ratings at higher voltages (32 kA at 440 V, 11.9 kA at 500 V and 690 V).

What does the TM210 trip unit designation mean?

TM210 is a fixed thermal-magnetic release — non-interchangeable in the field. The 'TM' indicates thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection; '210' is the Siemens release code for this current rating and characteristic. It's designed for line protection, not motor or generator protection.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1196-3GD42-0AA0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry UL, CSA, CE, and IEC certifications. Specific documentation (declarations of conformity, RoHS/REACH statements) is available from Siemens' support portal or upon request with the RFQ.
