MCCB for distribution panels — 32 A, 3-pole, line protection
Breaking capacity climbs with lower system voltage: 52.5 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 415 V, 13.6 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. At 415 V — common in industrial distribution — that 32 kA SCCR gives headroom for most low-voltage switchgear lineups without cascading upstream.
Thermal derating — what the 32 A means at panel ambient
At 55 °C it drops to 30.72 A, at 60 °C to 30.08 A, at 65 °C to 29.44 A, and at 70 °C to 28.8 A. The integrated auxiliary trip accessory is order code 3VA9608-0BB25 if you need to add a shunt trip later.
That's not a motor-starting contactor rating; if your application cycles the breaker weekly, consider a contactor in series.
