Product details

The interrupting capacity is the headline here: 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.

Thermal derating — the real continuous current at panel temperature

At 55 °C it derates to 15.36 A, at 60 °C to 15.04 A, at 65 °C to 14.72 A, and at 70 °C to 14.4 A.

Panel fit — dimensions and mounting

The 70 mm depth means it clears most standard gland plates and shallow enclosures. The 3VA family uses a common footprint across the 16 A to 160 A range, so panel cutouts and busbar layouts transfer between frame sizes.

What the auxiliary configuration gives you

The factory-fitted auxiliary contact block provides 2 normally-open/normally-closed auxiliary switches plus a separate trip alarm switch. The trip alarm signals when the breaker has tripped on overload or short circuit — distinct from the aux switches that follow the main contact position. This matters for remote status monitoring: the trip alarm can trigger a PLC input or an alarm beacon independently of the breaker's on/off state. The shunt trip (STL) allows remote tripping via a control voltage; no undervoltage release is fitted.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1196-6EF32-0HH0?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability; both are confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA1196-6EF32-0HH0's interrupting capacity at 240 V?

220 kA at 240 V. It also carries 154 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.

Does 3VA1196-6EF32-0HH0 include a shunt trip?

Yes, it is fitted with a shunt trip (STL) for remote tripping. It does not include an undervoltage release.

What is the thermal derating for this MCCB above 50 °C?

The 16 A rating holds to 50 °C. At 55 °C it derates to 15.36 A, at 60 °C to 15.04 A, at 65 °C to 14.72 A, and at 70 °C to 14.4 A.
