Product details

MCCB for line protection — 16 A, 4-pole, TM220 release

The 3VA1196-4EE46-0AA0: Breaking capacity is the headline number here: 121 kA at 240 V AC, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. At 240 V, that 121 kA rating puts it in the high-interrupting category for a 16 A frame — it can ride through a bolted fault on a large transformer secondary without rupturing. Thermal derating is flat from 40 °C through 55 °C — still 16 A — then drops to 15 A at 60 °C and holds there through 70 °C. That means in a warm panel (say 50 °C ambient), you get full ampacity; only above 55 °C do you lose 1 A.

Panel fit and physical integration

Dimensions are 130 mm height, 101.6 mm width, 70 mm depth — a standard MCCB footprint for the 160 A frame class.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1196-4EE46-0AA0 at different voltages?

Breaking capacity is 121 kA at 240 V AC, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. Match the available fault current at your system voltage against these values.

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1196-4EE46-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time; we source to order through our supply network.

What are the physical dimensions of 3VA1196-4EE46-0AA0?

Height 130 mm, width 101.6 mm, depth 70 mm. The 70 mm (2.76 in) depth fits standard 200 mm enclosures.

What type of overcurrent release does 3VA1196-4EE46-0AA0 use?

It uses a TM220 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release — fixed, non-interchangeable. The thermal element protects against overloads; the magnetic element clears short-circuits.
