Siemens 3VA1196-4ED22-0AA0 — 2-Pole 16 A MCCB with 121 kA Breaking Capacity
The Siemens 3VA1196-4ED22-0AA0 is a 2-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated 16 A continuous at 40 °C, with a TM210 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. Its interrupting capacity is 121 kA at 240 V AC and 75.6 kA at 415 V AC — enough for high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries where a standard MCB would weld.
At 121 kA (240 V AC) this MCCB sits in the high-interrupting tier of the 3VA family. Thermal pickup at 1.05× In, magnetic instantaneous at 10× In typical for this design.
The 3VA1196-4ED22-0AA0 measures 130 mm high × 50.8 mm wide × 70 mm deep. The 50.8 mm width is two standard 25.4 mm module spaces on a DIN rail — same footprint as a 2-pole MCB, so it drops into existing panel layouts without re-drilling. If you need those, the 3VA platform accepts clip-on accessories, but verify compatibility with this specific variant — the TM210 base unit ships bare.
