Product details

What this MCCB delivers

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1132-4EF36-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection. It carries a continuous current of 32 A at 40 °C ambient, derating to 30 A at 70 °C — the full thermal curve is on the spec table. The interrupting ratings are 121 kA at 240 V AC and 75.6 kA at 415 V AC, which means it can clear high-fault currents on a 400 V distribution bus without upstream coordination issues. The TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit provides fixed overload and short-circuit protection. No undervoltage release, no ground-fault monitoring, no communication module — this is a straightforward line-protection breaker for standard distribution panels. The front face carries IP40 protection, sufficient for enclosed panel mounting.

Panel fit and dimensions

The 3VA1132-4EF36-0AA0 measures 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm high, and 70 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures. The 70 mm depth keeps the breaker within typical 200 mm deep enclosures, leaving room for wiring gutters and busbar connections.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1132-4EF36-0AA0 at 240 V?

The interrupting rating is 121 kA at 240 V AC, with 75.6 kA at 415 V and 52.5 kA at 440 V. At 690 V it holds 11.9 kA.

Where can I buy 3VA1132-4EF36-0AA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time figure is published here.

What is the rated current of 3VA1132-4EF36-0AA0 at elevated ambient temperatures?

Rated current is 32 A at 40 °C, 45 °C, and 50 °C. It derates to 31 A at 55 °C and 60 °C, and to 30 A at 65 °C and 70 °C. The full thermal derating curve is in the spec table.
