Product details

Line protection MCCB with TM240 release

Its TM240 thermal-magnetic release gives a fixed 16 A continuous rating that holds flat across 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 14.4 A at 70 °C; that thermal curve matters when the breaker sits in a warm enclosure alongside other heat sources.

Breaking capacity — what the voltages mean for panel coordination

This MCCB 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.

Built-in auxiliaries and shunt trip

The integrated auxiliary trip module carries order code 3VA9688-0BL32, which is the specific subassembly if a replacement is ever needed.

Dimensions: 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — standard 3VA frame size that mounts on a DIN rail or via screw terminals in a distribution board.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1196-4EF36-0JC0 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1196-4EF36-0JC0 at 415 V?

75.6 kA at 415 V AC. At 240 V it is 121 kA, at 440 V it is 52.5 kA, and at 690 V it is 11.9 kA.

What auxiliary contacts and releases are built into this MCCB?

It comes with 2 auxiliary switches (HQ type) and a shunt trip (STL) release. No undervoltage release, no ground-fault monitoring, and no communication module are fitted.

Does 3VA1196-4EF36-0JC0 drop into a panel designed for 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs on the same 3VA frame platform, so the physical footprint and mounting pattern are identical. The 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0 carries a higher 100 A continuous rating and a different release, so verify the ampacity and coordination study before swapping.
