Its 15 kA breaking capacity, certified to both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, tells you it can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level at 440 V AC (multi-phase operation), which covers most industrial distribution panels where the prospective short-circuit current stays under that ceiling. At 50 °C ambient the breaker still carries its full 32 A rating; at 60 °C it derates to 29.9 A — useful to know when the breaker sits in a crowded enclosure with other heat sources. ## Sourcing and lifecycle — active production, no obsolescence worry ## Integration — fits the standard DIN-rail footprint Occupying 1 modular width unit (18 mm wide) with a 70 mm installation depth, it snaps onto the same DIN rail as any other Betagard or SENTRON MCB — no panel rework needed if you're swapping a failed unit. Sealable design lets you lock the toggle position after commissioning, preventing unauthorised switching — a common requirement in safety-critical or process panels.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL7132-3RC Betagard MCB, 32A 1P K-Char 15kA","metaDescription":"Siemens Betagard 5SL7132-3RC miniature circuit breaker, 32 A, 1-pole, K characteristic, 15 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.
