What this breaker carries
The Siemens 3VA1132-5EF36-0BH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker on the IEC 160 frame, rated In=32A with a breaking capacity class M delivering Icu=55kA at 415V AC. That 55kA at 415V means it handles high-fault-current scenarios common in industrial distribution — think main switchboard feeders or large motor control center infeeds where the prospective short-circuit current runs high. The TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit gives overload protection adjustable Ir=22A...32A and short-circuit protection Ii=5...10 x In, so you dial in the actual load current without swapping the breaker body.
Integrated accessories and wiring
This variant ships with an undervoltage release (UVR) at 24V DC, two auxiliary switches (HQ), and one trip alarm switch (HQ) — all factory-integrated. The UVR means the breaker drops if control power is lost, standard for emergency-stop or safety-shutdown circuits. Clamp connection terminals accept copper conductors without lug crimping, which shaves a few minutes per termination in a multi-breaker panel.
