Product details

Breaking capacity is the headline here: 121 kA at 240 V AC, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and it still holds 11.9 kA all the way up to 690 V. That's a high-interrupting rating for a 16 A frame — this isn't a general-purpose feeder breaker; it's sized for high-fault locations like a main or subfeed in an industrial switchboard where available fault current is serious.

That's a clean thermal curve; you don't lose headroom until the panel is genuinely hot. Dimensions are 130 mm tall, 101.6 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a 4-pole MCCB in a compact footprint that fits standard Siemens SENTRON mounting bases.

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 AC.

Where can I buy 3VA1196-4GF46-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

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

What are the physical dimensions of this breaker?

The 3VA1196-4GF46-0AA0 measures 130 mm in height, 101.6 mm in width, and 70 mm in depth.

Does the 3VA1196-4GF46-0AA0 require derating at elevated temperatures?

The 16 A rating holds flat up to 55 °C. At 60 °C and 65 °C it derates to 15 A, and at 70 °C it remains at 15 A.
