Product details

Siemens 3VA1132-3EF32-0CH0 — SENTRON MCCB for Line Protection

The Siemens 3VA1132-3EF32-0CH0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for line protection in distribution panels. It carries a continuous current rating of 32 A at 40 °C ambient, derating to 30 A at 70 °C, per the thermal curve. The 3-pole construction handles three-phase circuits up to 800 V rated insulation voltage. Breaking capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V AC, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and 32 kA at 440 V — figures that govern selectivity coordination with downstream branch breakers. At 690 V the interrupting rating drops to 11.9 kA, so verify available fault current at the installation point. This MCCB includes an undervoltage release (UVR) and is pre-configured with two auxiliary switches plus one trip alarm switch (HQ). The trip indicator confirms the breaker has opened on fault, useful during troubleshooting without removing the cover.

Integration & Mounting

Panel footprint: 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth. The 3-pole MCCB mounts on a DIN rail or directly to a backplate via the fixed lugs. Power loss is 13.1 W maximum — factor this into enclosure thermal calculations for derating.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1132-3EF32-0CH0 at 415 V?

The interrupting rating is 52.5 kA at 415 V AC, which is the common European distribution voltage for selectivity studies.

Where can I buy 3VA1132-3EF32-0CH0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What auxiliary switches come with this MCCB?

The breaker ships with two auxiliary switches and one trip alarm switch (HQ configuration), plus an integrated undervoltage release.
