Product details

Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-4EF36-0AF0 — 16 A MCCB with TM240 trip and 121 kA SCCR

Its thermal-magnetic trip unit (TM240) provides fixed thermal and magnetic protection without voltage-trigger or ground-fault monitoring — a straightforward overcurrent-only device suited for feeder and branch-circuit duty in distribution panels. The interrupting ratings are substantial: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V, giving the breaker headroom for high-fault installations without cascading upstream.

Above that, derating is linear: 15.36 A at 55 °C, 15.04 A at 60 °C, 14.72 A at 65 °C, and 14.4 A at 70 °C. Physical footprint is 76.2 mm wide × 130 mm tall × 70 mm deep, which is the standard SENTRON 3VA three-pole form factor for DIN-rail or screw-fixed backplate installation.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1196-4EF36-0AF0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commercial offer.

What are the interrupting ratings for 3VA1196-4EF36-0AF0 at different voltages?

The breaker delivers 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V, providing selectivity headroom across common industrial voltage levels.

Does 3VA1196-4EF36-0AF0 include auxiliary contacts?

Yes, it ships with one auxiliary switch and one trip alarm switch (HQ version) integrated, so remote status and alarm signaling are available without a separate module.

What is the thermal derating for 3VA1196-4EF36-0AF0 above 50 °C?

The breaker is rated for 16 A continuously from 40 °C to 50 °C. Above 50 °C, it derates to 15.36 A at 55 °C, 15.04 A at 60 °C, 14.72 A at 65 °C, and 14.4 A at 70 °C.
