The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1132-4EE32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated 32 A at 40 °C with a TM220 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. Its interrupting capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V AC — that's the figure that decides whether it clears a high-fault panel without upstream coordination issues. Line protection design, no communication or ground-fault monitoring built in.
Compared to the 5SQ2370-2YA05 family, this 3VA carries the same 3-pole form factor and TM220 release, but the interrupting curve differs — the 3VA delivers 121 kA at 240 V versus the 5SQ's lower rating at that voltage. The 70 mm depth and 76.2 mm width are identical, so a panel laid out for the 5SQ accepts this unit without rewiring.
Mounts on a DIN rail or panel-mount via the 76.2 mm width footprint — standard for 3-pole MCCBs in this class. IP40 on the front means it's protected against tools and wires larger than 1 mm, but not sealed against washdown; keep it inside a cabinet. The TM220 release is fixed, no trip indicator or undervoltage release fitted.
