The Schneider Electric C11E3TM032L is a ComPacT NSXm 3-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker rated 32 A at 40 °C, with a breaking capacity of 16 kA at 415 V AC. It's built to EN/IEC 60947-2, which covers the performance and testing for low-voltage switchgear — so you know it's certified for distribution and motor-circuit protection in commercial and industrial panels. The 32 A TM-D trip unit gives you a fixed thermal-magnetic curve, no interchangeable trip blocks, which keeps the BOM simple and the spare parts count low.
Category A utilisation means it's not intended for selectivity under short-circuit conditions with other breakers — it's a standalone protector for a branch circuit. The 3.3 W power dissipation per pole adds up to about 10 W total; make sure your enclosure has enough ventilation to keep the internal temperature rise within limits.
Front-facing connections on both line and load sides; the Everlink lug terminals accept 2.5 to 95 mm² rigid aluminium/copper or 2.5 to 70 mm² flexible copper. That's a wide wire range — you can land a 10 mm² feeder or a 70 mm² main on the same lug without adapters. The 35 mm connection pitch with spreaders (27 mm without) lets you manage phase spacing in a crowded enclosure.
