The 32 A rating holds steady from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 30 A at 65–70 °C. This is a clean line-protection MCCB — spec it where you need high interrupting capacity and a simple thermal-magnetic trip curve, not where you need remote trip signalling or earth-leakage detection.
Breaking capacity — the so-what for the panel
At 240 V the 3VA1132-6EF32-0AF0 clears 220 kA. At 415 V it's still 154 kA; at 440 V, 121 kA. The steep drop-off above 480 V means this breaker is primarily sized for 240 V or 400/415 V distribution where fault currents are high.
The 3VA1132-6EF32-0AF0 ships with a TM240 release — thermal-magnetic, fixed thermal rating at 32 A, magnetic trip set at the factory. No field-adjustable thermal dial. The auxiliary switch block (1 HQ + 1 trip alarm) is fitted at the factory; no field-installation of the switch block required. Panel builders should account for the 70 mm depth when routing busbars behind the breaker — shallower than many MCCBs of this class, which helps in compact enclosures.
