Product details

Its interrupting capacity varies sharply with system voltage: 75.6 kA at 240 V AC, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. That voltage-dependent curve means the same breaker can serve high-fault panels at lower voltages but needs coordination review when applied at 480/277 V or 690 V systems where the available fault current must stay under 11.9 kA.

Thermal derating and release setup

The TM210 thermal-magnetic release holds full 16 A rating from 45 °C through 55 °C ambient. At 60 °C it derates to 15 A, and holds that level through 70 °C. The adjustable short-circuit release (li) goes up to 320 A, giving flexibility to coordinate with downstream branch breakers. The N-conductor is protected at 100% rating, so this breaker handles full-phase unbalance on a 4-wire system without derating the neutral pole.

Footprint is 101.6 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 4-pole MCCB envelope that drops into existing 3VA panel layouts without re-drilling. Front face carries IP40 protection (finger-safe, not sealed), so it belongs in a closed enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1196-3GD46-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is the closest functional alternative — 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0?

The 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 is a 3-pole variant in the same SENTRON family. The 3VA1196-3GD46-0AA0 is a 4-pole breaker, so a panel wired for 4-pole protection would need rewiring to drop in the 3-pole unit. For a like-for-like 4-pole replacement, stick with this order code.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1196-3GD46-0AA0?

Standard Siemens SENTRON documentation includes RoHS and REACH declarations, plus IEC 60947-2 test reports. These are provided with the shipment or on request.
