What the ratings mean for fit
The 3VA1196-5EF42-0AA0-ZD00 is a 4-pole IEC frame 160 molded-case circuit breaker with a breaking capacity class M rating of Icu=55kA at 415V. That 55kA interrupting capacity means it can safely clear a fault up to that level without welding contacts or cascading failure upstream — critical for high-fault panels near large transformers or motor control centers. The TM240 trip unit gives thermal-magnetic overload protection with an adjustable Ir from 11A to 16A (set via the ATAM dial) and a fixed short-circuit pickup Ii of 10 to 20 times In, so it's sized for a 16A line feeding a motor or distribution subfeed where you need to coordinate with downstream breakers.
Deployment context
Mounts on a DIN rail or direct screw-mount baseplate. The nut keeper kit indicates use in a DC power distribution assembly for an OEM in China.
