What a 100 kA breaker with a fixed 448 A trip means for your panel
The 32 A GV3L32 from Schneider’s TeSys Deca range is a magnetic-only motor circuit breaker with a fixed trip at 448 A and 100 kA breaking capacity at 230/240 V. The magnetic trip unit responds only to short circuits; for overload protection, pair it with a separate thermal overload relay.
Lifecycle, sourcing, and compliance
For compliance documentation, the breaker holds approvals per EN/IEC 60947-2 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. That covers the major certification bodies for industrial motor circuits.
