Product details

Interrupting ratings and thermal derating

Interrupting capacity drops as voltage rises: 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. Thermal derating is flat from 40 °C to 55 °C (16 A), then steps to 15 A at 60 °C through 70 °C. Ambient temperature inside a crowded panel pushes the actual ampacity down; the 13.1 W maximum power loss adds to the enclosure heat load.

Built-in undervoltage release and auxiliary switches

It also carries two auxiliary switches plus a trip alarm switch (HQ), so you get remote status indication without adding a separate accessory block. The trip indicator on the front gives a local visual flag.

Width at 76.2 mm (3 inches) is a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint; it occupies three 25 mm module spaces on a DIN rail or panel-mount base.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1196-4EF32-0DH0 at 240 V?

121 kA at 240 V. That's the highest interrupting rating for this breaker; it drops to 75.6 kA at 415 V and 11.9 kA at 690 V.

What is the depth of 3VA1196-4EF32-0DH0?

70 mm (2.76 inches). That's the dimension from the mounting surface to the front of the breaker body — critical for enclosure door clearance.

Does 3VA1196-4EF32-0DH0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it comes with a factory-installed undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release. It also includes two auxiliary switches and a trip alarm switch.

Where can I buy 3VA1196-4EF32-0DH0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
