This breaker holds its full 16 A rating from 40 °C up through 55 °C ambient. At 60 °C it derates to 15 A, and it holds that 15 A through 70 °C. That's a practical advantage over breakers that start derating at 40 °C. Maximum power loss is 10.6 W, which is modest for a 16 A MCCB with this interrupting capacity. In a dense panel, that's one less heat source to worry about in your thermal calc.
The 76.2 mm width (3 inches) is standard for a 3-pole MCCB footprint, so it'll land in the same DIN-rail or mounting-plate slot as other SENTRON 3VA frames. That covers unheated warehouses and outdoor enclosures in most climates short of arctic conditions.
