The Siemens 3VA1132-6ED32-0AA0 is a SENTRON 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) carrying a 32 A continuous rating at 40 °C through 50 °C, derating to 30 A at 70 °C. It's built for line protection — meaning it sits on the incoming feeder side of a panel, not downstream on a motor branch — and uses a TM210 thermal-magnetic release that gives you fixed thermal pickup with magnetic trip factory-set at 10× In. That's a standard distribution breaker: no adjustable trip curves, no ground-fault module, no communication module. If the BOM calls for a simple, high-interrupting MCCB for a main or subfeed, this is the one.
This breaker's interrupting rating is voltage-dependent, and the spread matters. At 240 V it clears 220 kA — that's a very high fault-current capacity for a 32 A frame, typical for a main breaker close to a large transformer. At 415 V it's still 154 kA, and at 440 V it holds 121 kA. The drop to 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V tells you the arc extinction is optimized for the 240–440 V range. Above 500 V, you need to check the 17 kA limit against your transformer's nameplate impedance.
Footprint is 76.2 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB width that drops into most SENTRON or 3VA-series panelboard mounting plates without adapter brackets.
