The 3VA1032-3ED36-0AC0: The 32 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates in steps: 30.72 A at 55 °C, 30.08 A at 60 °C, 29.44 A at 65 °C, and 28.8 A at 70 °C. That means in a warm panel — say 50 °C ambient — you still get the full 32 A; you don't have to oversize the frame just because the enclosure runs hot. The interrupting ratings climb steeply as voltage drops: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. At 240 V this breaker handles a 75.6 kA fault without cracking — that's serious SCCR headroom for a 32 A frame. At 690 V the 7.5 kA rating tells you this is a 3-pole breaker wired for line-to-line 690 V, not a 4-pole unit with a fully rated neutral.
The 3VA1032-3ED36-0AC0 measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep.
Auxiliary contacts and release options
This breaker ships with 2 auxiliary switches (HQ type) built in. The TM210 release is fixed thermal-magnetic — no adjustable long-time or short-time pickup curves. If you need adjustable electronic trip, you'd step up to the 3VA2 or 3VA3 series. For frequent switching applications you'd want to check the electrical endurance curve in the device manual.
