Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, and 75.6 kA at 440 V, dropping to 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V. That SCCR headroom means it can sit upstream of a distribution panel with high-fault utility feeds without cascading failure. For a panel builder, that simplifies the BOM: one order code, one trip curve, no field-adjustment risk. ## Temperature derating and continuous current At 55 °C and 60 °C it derates to 31 A; at 65 °C and 70 °C it holds 30 A. The TM240 release compensates thermally, so a panel in a hot machine room or near a furnace wall still delivers 30 A continuous without nuisance tripping. ## Auxiliary switching and signaling The trip alarm signals on overcurrent or short-circuit trip — useful for remote fault annunciation in a PLC-driven line.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1132-5EF36-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 3-Pole, 32 A, TM240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1132-5EF36-0AF0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 32 A, TM240 release, 187 kA at 240 V interrupting rating.
