Rated at 16 A continuously from 40 °C up to 55 °C, it derates to 15 A at 60 °C through 70 °C — so in a warm panel you lose 1 A of headroom above 55 °C ambient. The 220 kA breaking capacity at 240 V is the headline number, but the real-world interrupting capability drops to 154 kA at 415 V and 121 kA at 440 V; at 500 V and 690 V it still holds 17 kA, which covers most industrial distribution faults without cascading upstream.
The 3VA1196-6EE46-0AA0 measures 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm tall — a standard MCCB footprint for a 4-pole frame.
