Product details

What this MCCB does on your line

Four poles handle three-phase-plus-neutral or single-phase multi-wire distribution. The interrupting capacity is what earns it a place in high-fault panels: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, and still 11.9 kA at 690 V, so it stays coordinated upstream of a transformer or large motor branch without needing a current-limiting fuse ahead of it.

The footprint is 101.6 mm wide (4 in) by 130 mm tall (5.12 in) and 70 mm deep (2.76 in) — fits standard MCCB cutouts in a 4-pole configuration. The N-conductor is protected at 100% rating, meaning the neutral pole carries the same thermal-magnetic protection as the phase poles — important for 4-wire distribution where a neutral overload is possible.

The TM210 release has an adjustable long-time pickup: the li max. is 320 A, which sets the magnetic trip threshold for short-circuit protection — not the continuous rating. The continuous current (Iu) is fixed at 16 A; that's the number you size the load to. Motor drive option is available as a field-addable accessory if remote tripping is needed later.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1196-4GD46-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — lead time and price are confirmed at quote time.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1196-4GD46-0AA0 at different voltages?

121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. These ratings allow it to clear high-fault currents without upstream fuses in most distribution panels.

What is the depth of 3VA1196-4GD46-0AA0?

The depth is 70 mm (2.76 in). Width is 101.6 mm (4 in), height is 130 mm (5.12 in).
