Product details

That's the spec that decides fit for a main or subfeed breaker in a large industrial switchboard.

Thermal derating and enclosure planning

Rated current holds at 16 A from 40 °C up to 55 °C (cite:–), then derates to 15 A at 60 °C and above (cite:–). The 70 mm depth (cite:) and 76.2 mm width (cite:) fit standard MCCB mounting footprints; the 10.6 W max power loss (cite:) is manageable but adds up in a densely packed panel.

Rated insulation voltage 800 V (cite:). Interrupting capacity drops with voltage: 75.6 kA at 440 V (cite:), 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V (cite:–). Three auxiliary switches HQ are built in (cite:).

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1196-5EF32-0AD0?

We source this breaker to order against an RFQ. Send us the line item and we'll confirm current pricing and availability at quote time — no stock count or price listed here, but the supply channel is open.

What is 3VA1196-5EF32-0AD0's interrupting capacity at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V (cite:). That's the highest figure on this breaker's curve, suitable for high-fault main or subfeed positions.

Will 3VA1196-5EF32-0AD0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breakers in the same 3VA frame family, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing are the same. But the 3VA1196-5EF32-0AD0 carries a TM240 thermal-magnetic release rated 16 A, while the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 uses a different release curve and current rating — verify the trip settings and cable sizing before swapping.
