Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-4EF32-0AG0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 16 A continuous current across ambient temperatures from 40 °C up to 55 °C, derating to 15 A at 60 °C through 70 °C. 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.

Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a standard SENTRON 3VA form factor that fits the usual DIN-rail or screw-mount patterns in distribution boards. The breaker ships with one auxiliary switch and one trip alarm switch (HP design) factory-fitted, so you get remote status indication without ordering separate accessories. The trip indicator is present, so a visual check confirms the breaker has tripped on fault rather than being manually switched off.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB 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.

What does the TM240 release designation mean?

TM240 indicates a thermal-magnetic overcurrent release with a 16 A continuous current rating at 40 °C ambient, adjustable via thermal and magnetic settings for coordination with downstream devices.
