The interrupting rating drops sharply as system voltage rises: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V. That 17 kA floor at 690 V is the figure to check if you're feeding a 600 V class motor control center — most 600 V MCC bus bracing is rated 25 kA or 42 kA, so this breaker may need a current-limiting upstream device to coordinate. The thermal-magnetic TM240 trip unit holds full 16 A rating from 40 °C through 55 °C ambient, then derates to 15 A at 60–70 °C. That flat curve through 55 °C gives you headroom in a warm enclosure without oversizing the frame.
Panel footprint and integration
The 3VA1196-5GF46-0AA0 measures 130 mm high, 101.6 mm wide, and 70 mm deep — a 4-pole MCCB that fits a standard 100 mm wide DIN or panel-mount slot.
