Product details

It breaks 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and 32 kA at 440 V — numbers that tell you it handles high-fault utility feeds, not just branch circuits.

At 240 V the 75.6 kA interrupting rating is high enough for most service-entrance and main-switchboard positions. The 52.5 kA at 415 V and 11.9 kA at 690 V let you coordinate downstream in a 400 V distribution panel without cascading a fault through upstream gear.

Thermal derating and panel ambient

Full 16 A rating holds up to 55 °C ambient; at 60 °C it derates to 15 A and holds there through 70 °C.

Mounts on DIN rail. The 70 mm depth by 101.6 mm width by 130 mm height footprint is the standard 4-pole MCCB form factor for this class — it drops into a SENTRON panelboard or a standalone enclosure without re-drilling.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1196-3GE42-0AA0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — figures are confirmed at quote time, not listed here.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1196-3GE42-0AA0 at 240 V?

75.6 kA at 240 V. At 415 V it breaks 52.5 kA, at 440 V it breaks 32 kA, and at 500 V or 690 V it breaks 11.9 kA.

What does the TM220 release designation mean on this MCCB?

TM220 is a thermal-magnetic release. The thermal element protects against sustained overloads; the magnetic element trips instantaneously on short-circuit currents. It is a fixed, non-interchangeable release designed for line protection.
