The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1132-6EF32-0AE0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) built for line protection, with a TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release that holds 32 A continuous at 40 °C and derates to 30 A at 70 °C. Its interrupting capacity hits 220 kA at 240 V and 154 kA at 415 V — numbers that tell you this breaker is sized for high-fault industrial service, not light commercial. The rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and it accepts up to four HQ auxiliary switches.
Out here in the grease, the question on a swap is always footprint. The 3VA1132-6EF32-0AE0 measures 130 mm tall, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep. That puts it on the same 3-inch-wide frame as the 3VA1110-5EF32-0AM0, so if your panel was laid out for that sibling, this one drops onto the same mounting holes and bus connections without re-drilling or re-wiring — the difference is the TM240 release and higher continuous rating on this unit.
Mounts in a standard panel enclosure on the DIN rail or bolted busbar system. The 70 mm depth leaves clearance behind a 200 mm deep cabinet door without the breaker bumping the cover. Max power loss is 10.6 W, so factor that into your enclosure thermal budget if you're stacking several in a row. Operating temp range is -25 °C to 70 °C, storage from -40 °C to 80 °C.
