Product details

What this MCCB delivers

The Siemens 3VA1132-4EF36-0AE0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 32 A continuous current with a TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. Its interrupting capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V and 75.6 kA at 415 V — that's enough headroom to clear a high-fault utility feed without cascading upstream breakers. The 32 A rating holds steady from 40 °C through 50 °C; above that it derates gradually to 28.8 A at 70 °C, so if your panel runs hot, size the load accordingly.

Panel fit and mounting

Footprint is 76.2 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB envelope that drops into most SENTRON distribution blocks and panelboards without re-drilling. IP40 on the front means it's fine for a clean indoor enclosure; keep it out of washdown zones.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1132-4EF36-0AE0 at 415 V?

75.6 kA at 415 V, with 121 kA at 240 V and 52.5 kA at 440 V.

Where can I buy 3VA1132-4EF36-0AE0?

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

Does 3VA1132-4EF36-0AE0 drop into a panel designed for 3VA1010-4ED32-0AC0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same 76.2 mm wide footprint, so the mechanical fit is the same. The key difference is the interrupting rating — this unit carries higher fault-clearing capacity (121 kA vs the 3VA1010's lower range at 240 V). Verify the existing bus and lug ratings match the 32 A continuous current before swapping.
