Product details

At 415 V it still holds 53 kA, and at 500 V it delivers 11.9 kA, so the interrupting rating stays useful across common industrial voltages. That's a tight thermal curve; the breaker runs at full nameplate in most enclosure conditions without oversizing. Front IP40 protection means it's splash-safe from the front but not sealed against dust ingress into the enclosure.

At 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm tall, this 4-pole breaker fits standard MCCB panel cutouts. No communication module or motor drive option — this is a straight line-protection breaker with thermal-magnetic overcurrent release (TM220). The N-conductor protection is not integrated, so four-pole protection is handled across all poles equally.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?

76 kA at 240 V, 53 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 500 V. These are the interrupting ratings for the 3VM1196-3EE42-0AA0.

What is the continuous current rating and does it derate with temperature?

16 A continuous from 40 °C to 55 °C, then 15 A at 60 °C and 65 °C, and 15 A at 70 °C. No derating needed in the 40-55 °C band.
