Product details

The TM240 thermal-magnetic release means the thermal element is sized for a 32 A frame but the magnetic short-circuit pickup is fixed at 240 A (7.5x In), so it's a line-protection breaker, not a motor-protection curve. The headline number is the interrupting capacity: 187 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 / 690 V.

At 55 °C it drops to 31 A, at 65 °C to 30 A, and it's still carrying 30 A at 70 °C. That's a shallow derating curve, meaning the breaker runs cool enough to keep its full rating through most industrial enclosure temperatures. If your panel is in a hot attic or near a furnace, you lose 1–2 A, not 5–10.

The 3VA1132-5EF42-0AA0 measures 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm high — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or screw-mount panel integration. The 4-pole design (three phases plus neutral) suits three-phase line protection where the neutral needs to be switched and protected.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1132-5EF42-0AA0?

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 closest functional second-source for 3VA1132-5EF42-0AA0?

The closest peer in the SENTRON 3VA family is the 3VA1110-5ED32-0AA0, but it is a different frame size and pole count — verify the interrupting capacity and current rating against your BOM before substituting. The 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 and 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 are also in the same series but carry different release types and ratings.

Will 3VA1132-5EF42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED32-0AA0 without rewiring?

The 3VA1132-5EF42-0AA0 is a 4-pole breaker; the 3VA1110-5ED32-0AA0 is a different frame size and pole configuration. The mounting footprint and terminal spacing may differ — verify the panel cutout and wiring diagram before assuming a direct swap.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1132-5EF42-0AA0?

The SENTRON 3VA series carries IEC/UL certifications standard for molded case circuit breakers. Specific compliance documents (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) are available through the manufacturer's documentation portal for this order code.
