Product details

At 415 VAC the rating is 121 kA, and at 690 VAC it still holds 17 kA, so the part covers both 400 V and 690 V industrial networks with a single frame size. Power loss is 13.1 W at rated load — modest for a 16 A frame, but worth accounting for in a densely packed enclosure with limited convection.

The 3VA1196-5EF36-0CC0 measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep.

Current rating across temperature

The breaker is rated 16 A continuously from 40 °C up to 55 °C ambient. At 60 °C it derates to 15 A, and holds that 15 A rating through 70 °C. This flat thermal curve is typical of electronic-trip MCCBs — the trip unit compensates for ambient temperature, so you don't lose capacity until you exceed 55 °C.
