Product details

Three poles, thermal-magnetic TM240 release, and a factory-fitted shunt trip (3VA9688-0BL30) for remote trip via a control signal. No auxiliary contacts, no undervoltage release, no comms module — this is a straight line-protection breaker for a feeder or a large motor branch where you need the interrupting muscle.

The interrupting rating drops as line voltage climbs: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. At 240 V, though, it handles nearly anything a distribution transformer can throw at it.

Rated 16 A continuous from 40 °C through 50 °C, then it starts to taper: 15.36 A at 55 °C, 15.04 A at 60 °C, 14.72 A at 65 °C, and 14.4 A at 70 °C. If your panel ambient sits at 60 °C, you lose about an amp — plan the load accordingly. The case is 70 mm deep by 76.2 mm wide by 130 mm high, IP40 on the front.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this breaker at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V AC. That's the rating for a 400 V class panel where the transformer secondary can deliver a stiff fault.

Does this MCCB include a shunt trip?

Yes, it's factory-fitted with a shunt trip release (order code 3VA9688-0BL30) for remote tripping via a control voltage. No undervoltage release or auxiliary contacts are included.

What is the width and depth of the 3VA1196-5EF36-0HA0?

Width is 76.2 mm, depth is 70 mm, height is 130 mm. Standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for SENTRON mounting plates.

Where can I buy the 3VA1196-5EF36-0HA0 and get current pricing?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm number.
