The Siemens 3VA1132-4EF32-0KA0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 32 A continuous current (Iu) at 40 °C, with the TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. Breaking capacity runs 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V — so it clears high-fault downstream of a transformer or upstream of a distribution panel without cascading failure.
Current derating — what the thermal curve means for your panel
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.
Integrated shunt trip and auxiliary options
The integrated auxiliary trip uses order code 3VA9688-0BL33 if you need a spare or replacement.
