This MCCB is built for high-interrupting duty. At 415 V it's rated 154 kA, at 440 V it's 121 kA, and it still holds 17 kA up to 690 V. That's a lot of fault-clearing muscle for a 16 A frame. At 60 °C it drops to 15 A, same at 65 °C and 70 °C.
The 3VA1196-6EF32-0DH0 fits a 70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, and 130 mm height footprint — standard for this SENTRON frame size. That's enough aux contacts to signal a PLC or annunciator panel without adding a separate accessory module.
This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
It's a 3-pole, 16 A MCCB with a breaking capacity of 220 kA at 240 V AC, 154 kA at 415 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V. It includes an undervoltage release and two auxiliary switches plus a trip alarm switch.
Yes, it includes an undervoltage release (UVR) as part of the auxiliary release design.
