The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-4ED32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated 16 A continuous at 40 °C, with a TM210 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release designed for line protection. Its interrupting capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V AC and 75.6 kA at 415 V AC — numbers that matter for high-fault panels where upstream SCCR coordination is tight.
At 415 V the breaker clears 75.6 kA, dropping to 52.5 kA at 440 V and 11.9 kA at 500/690 V. The TM210 release is thermal-magnetic, fixed-trip, no electronic adjustment or communication module.
Rated 16 A from 40 °C through 55 °C; at 60 °C it derates to 15 A, holding at 15 A through 70 °C. That flat derating curve means the breaker can sit in a warm enclosure without losing much headroom — useful when the panel is packed and ambient runs high.
