The 3VA1196-5ED36-0AA0: This MCCB delivers 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. At 690 V the 17 kA rating still covers most industrial motor branch circuits.
Rated current holds at 16 A from 40 °C through 55 °C ambient; it derates to 15 A at 60 °C and 65 °C, and stays at 15 A up to the 70 °C operating maximum. The 10.6 W maximum power loss means you can group several breakers in a standard IP40 enclosure without forced ventilation — just keep the 70 mm depth and 76.2 mm width per pole spacing in mind for the DIN-rail layout. Front IP40 protection is standard; the breaker has no trip indicator, undervoltage release, or communication module, so it's a straight thermal-magnetic device for basic line protection.
Current-production status (lifecycle stage 'current') means this order code is the active manufacturing variant — no end-of-life notice, no successor to track.
