Product details

Rated 16 A continuous at 40 °C ambient, it holds that rating through 55 °C and derates to 15 A at 60 °C and above, so if your panel runs hot near the top of the enclosure, you lose 1 A of headroom. The interrupting capacity tells the real story: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and still 17 kA at 690 V.

At 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, and 130 mm tall, it fits a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — no surprises when you're laying out a panel that already holds SENTRON breakers. The 3-pole form factor means it switches all three phases simultaneously; the UVR coil draws from the line side, so no auxiliary power supply is needed for the trip function.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V AC, which is very high for a 16 A frame — suitable for high-fault-current industrial panels fed by large transformers.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it ships with an undervoltage release (UVR) integrated — the design of the auxiliary release is undervoltage release (UVR), so it trips when control voltage drops.

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

Rated 16 A continuous from 40 °C to 55 °C ambient; derates to 15 A at 60 °C through 70 °C. No further derating needed within that range.

Where can I buy 3VA1196-5EF32-0BA0 and what is the lead time?
