The SENTRON 3VA1196-5ED32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 16 A continuous current at 40 °C, with a TM210 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release designed for line protection.
At 240 V the interrupting rating is 187 kA; at 415 V it drops to 121 kA, at 440 V to 75.6 kA, and at 500 V and 690 V to 17 kA. For a 480 V panel fed from a 1 MVA transformer (typically 25–35 kA available fault current), the 75.6 kA at 440 V gives ample margin. The TM210 release means thermal pickup is fixed at 16 A; magnetic trip is factory-set and not field-adjustable — factor that into coordination studies.
Rated 16 A from 40 °C through 55 °C (–); at 60 °C it derates to 15 A, holding at 15 A through 70 °C.
