Product details

The Siemens 3VA1196-5EE32-0AB0 is a SENTRON 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 16 A continuous at 40 °C, with a TM220 thermal-magnetic trip unit. The interrupting ratings are the headline: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V.

At 60 °C it drops to 15 A, and it holds there through 70 °C. That's a clean derating curve: you lose 1 A across a 30 °C rise above 55 °C. The maximum power loss is 10.6 W, which is modest for a 3-pole MCCB at this rating — helps keep internal panel temperature in check.

Physical fit and integration

That 76.2 mm width (3 inches) is the standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for this frame size — it occupies three 25 mm DIN positions or a bolt-on panel mount.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA1196-5EE32-0AB0 and get a price?

This part is 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 are the key interrupting ratings for this MCCB?

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. These are the maximum short-circuit currents the breaker can safely interrupt at those voltages.

What is the continuous current rating and how does it derate with temperature?

Rated 16 A from 40 °C to 55 °C. At 60 °C it derates to 15 A, and holds at 15 A through 70 °C. No derating needed in typical panel ambient conditions.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release or communication?

No. This variant has no undervoltage release, no voltage trigger, and no communication function. It includes two factory-fitted auxiliary switches (HP type).
