Product details

Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — so it handles high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without cascading upstream.

At 55 °C it derates 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.

The integrated auxiliary trip is order code 3VA9608-0BB11. No communication function, no phase failure detection, no ground fault monitoring, no voltage trigger, and no trip indicator. If you need remote status beyond the two aux contacts, you'll add an external module or a separate monitoring relay.

Panel fit and protection class

The 3-pole design with line protection (no ground fault) means it's a straight feeder or branch breaker for resistive, motor, or mixed loads within the derated current envelope. Latching endurance is 15,000 operations.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1132-5EF32-0BC0?

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

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1132-5EF32-0BC0 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.

Does 3VA1132-5EF32-0BC0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it ships with an undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release design, plus 2 auxiliary switches (HQ type).

How does 3VA1132-5EF32-0BC0 compare to 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a lower-current variant in the same SENTRON 3VA1 family. The 3VA1132-5EF32-0BC0 carries a 32 A continuous rating versus the 1112's lower ampacity, but shares the same frame size, pole count, and auxiliary contact options. Panel cutouts and busbar positions are identical — it drops into the same footprint without rewiring.
