Product details

Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — that covers most industrial distribution panels without needing a current-limiting upstream device.

Rated continuous current holds at 16 A from 40 °C up to 50 °C; above that it derates linearly to 14.4 A at 70 °C.

Auxiliary and undervoltage release

The UVR is factory-fitted — no field kit to add. That alarm switch gives a positive signal when the breaker trips, useful for remote fault annunciation on a PLC input.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key breaking capacity ratings for 3VA1196-5EF32-0DH0?

Breaking capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA1196-5EF32-0DH0?

The closest peer is 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0, which shares the same 3-pole, TM240 release, and undervoltage release design. The key difference is the rated current — the 3VA1112 variant carries a higher amp rating. Verify your load current before substituting.

Where can I buy 3VA1196-5EF32-0DH0 and how is it quoted?
