Product details

Rated 16 A continuously at ambient temperatures from 40 °C through 55 °C; above that it derates to 15 A at 60 °C, 65 °C, and 70 °C. That flat 16 A band from 40 to 55 °C is useful in a warm panel — you don't lose headroom until the enclosure interior passes 55 °C.

Breaking capacity — the number that decides fault clearance

The 121 kA figure at 240 V is exceptionally high for a 1-pole 16 A MCCB — it means this breaker can safely interrupt a fault on a high-capacity 240 V supply without the arc re-striking or the case rupturing. At 415 V the 9 kA rating is more typical for a 16 A frame; coordination studies should use the 415 V value for three-phase line-to-line faults.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1196-5ED12-0AA0 and get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB?

Rated 121 kA at 240 V AC and 9 kA at 415 V AC. Use the 415 V value for three-phase line-to-line fault coordination.

What is the width of the 3VA1196-5ED12-0AA0?

25.4 mm wide — a standard single-pole width that fits DIN-rail and panel-mount enclosures.
