That's a high-interrupting-capacity (HIC) variant, sized for transformer secondaries or large bus feeds where fault current runs hot. At 55 °C it drops to 30.72 A, and at 70 °C it's 28.8 A. If your enclosure runs hot, check the thermal curve; the breaker won't nuisance-trip, but it will carry less than the nameplate 32 A. The TM240 release means the thermal element is fixed at 32 A (the Iu rating) with a magnetic pickup at roughly 240 A (7.5x In). That's a standard motor-start or feeder profile — not a high-inrush application like a welding transformer, where you'd want a higher magnetic threshold. The IP40 front protection means it's dust-protected on the face but not sealed against hose-down — standard for a panel-mounted MCCB. Footprint is 76.2 mm wide (roughly 3 inches), 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep. That's the standard 3-pole SENTRON 3VA1 frame size — drops into the same mounting cutout as the 3VA1112 and 3VA1110 siblings. An undervoltage release (UVR) is built in — it's the design of the auxiliary release on this variant. No separate UVR module to buy and wire.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1132-5EF32-0BA0 SENTRON MCCB, 32 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1132-5EF32-0BA0 molded case circuit breaker, 32 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, line protection.
