The Schneider Electric C11E3TM032B is a ComPacT NSXm moulded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) with a 32 A thermal-magnetic trip unit, three poles, and a 16 kA interrupting rating at 415 V AC.
The 32 A rating at 40 °C is the continuous current the breaker carries without tripping in a 40 °C ambient — standard for most panel environments. The 16 kA breaking capacity at 415 V AC tells you the maximum fault current it can safely interrupt at that voltage; in a 400 V distribution panel with a transformer rating that keeps prospective fault current under 16 kA, this breaker coordinates without needing an upstream current-limiting device. The thermal-magnetic trip unit combines a bimetal element for overload protection (inverse-time curve) and a solenoid for short-circuit protection (instantaneous). This is the standard trip technology for general distribution — no electronic adjustments, no ground-fault module. The 3-pole configuration suits three-phase loads or single-phase line-to-line circuits where all poles must open together.
The 81 mm width and 137 mm height fit standard distribution board cutouts. Connection is via compression lugs or busbars on the front — no rear-connection option, so plan for front-access wiring. The 35 mm pitch with spreaders matches common busbar systems.
