Product details

It is a 3-pole unit rated at 16 A continuous current across ambient temperatures from 40 °C up to 55 °C, derating to 15 A at 60 °C through 70 °C. Breaking capacity is specified per voltage: 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. Maximum power loss is 10.6 W.

The shunt trip release requires a separate control signal; verify polarity and voltage rating per the installation manual before wiring.

The 16 A continuous rating is maintained up to 55 °C ambient; above that, derate to 15 A. This matters if the breaker is installed in a warm enclosure or near other heat-generating devices.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1196-5EF32-0JA0?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?

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.

What is the difference between 3VA1196-5EF32-0JA0 and 3VA1110-5EF32-0LA0?

The 3VA1110-5EF32-0LA0 is a lower-rated variant in the same SENTRON 3VA family. The key difference is the continuous current rating and the overcurrent release calibration. The 3VA1196-5EF32-0JA0 is rated 16 A with a TM240 release, while the 3VA1110-5EF32-0LA0 has a different rating. Both share the same 3-pole form factor and shunt trip option, but the frame size and breaking capacity may differ. Verify the specific ratings for the 3VA1110 before substituting.
