Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1132-5EF36-0AD0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 32 A continuous at 40 °C, with a TM240 thermal-magnetic release that holds steady through 50 °C before the thermal curve starts to pull back — 30.72 A at 55 °C, 29.44 A at 65 °C, 28.8 A at 70 °C. That derating profile matters if this lands in a crowded panel or a warm enclosure; the 32 A nameplate is good only up to 50 °C ambient. Breaking capacity is the headline: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. That's a lot of fault-current headroom for a 32 A frame — it'll ride through a high-available-fault panel without cascading upstream. Three auxiliary switches (HQ type) come built in.

Panel fit — the 70 mm depth matters

That 70 mm depth is shallow enough for most 200 mm deep enclosures with the door closed; the 76.2 mm width (roughly 3 inches) is a standard 3-pole MCCB slice. Three auxiliary switches HQ are already on the side — no add-on module needed for status feedback.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1132-5EF36-0AD0 at 415 V?

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

Where can I buy 3VA1132-5EF36-0AD0?

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

Will 3VA1132-5EF36-0AD0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 70 mm depth and 76.2 mm width, so the physical footprint is the same. The 3VA1132-5EF36-0AD0 carries a TM240 release and 32 A rating versus the 3VA1110's different release and rating — verify the trip curve and ampacity match your branch circuit before swapping.
