Product details

Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 VAC, 121 kA at 415 VAC, and 75.6 kA at 440 VAC — figures that cover most industrial service-entrance and feeder applications where high fault current is expected.

Rated current holds at 16 A from 40 °C through 55 °C, then steps down to 15 A at 60 °C through 70 °C. That flat profile up to 55 °C means no derating in most ventilated enclosures; only tightly-packed or high-ambient panels need the 15 A limit. Maximum power loss is 13.1 W, which is manageable for a 3-pole MCCB of this size.

The auxiliary switch complement (2 form-C + 1 trip alarm HQ) signals position and trip status to a PLC or indicator lamp without extra wiring.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting rating of 3VA1196-5EF36-0DH0 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 VAC, with 121 kA at 415 VAC and 75.6 kA at 440 VAC. These ratings cover most high-fault industrial service-entrance applications.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA1196-5EF36-0DH0?

The 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 is a smaller-frame sibling in the same SENTRON 3VA family, but it carries a lower interrupting rating and different current range. The 3VA1196-5EF36-0DH0 is the higher-capacity option for line protection with UVR. Panel cutouts differ — verify mounting dimensions before substituting.

Where can I buy 3VA1196-5EF36-0DH0 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your volume.
