It carries a continuous current rating of 32 A at 40 °C ambient, with no derating needed up to 50 °C — still 32 A at 50 °C — and only a 2 A drop at 70 °C (30 A). That thermal stability means it holds its full rating across most panel interior temperatures without oversizing. The interrupting ratings are what set this frame apart: 220 kA at 240 V AC, 154 kA at 415 V, and 121 kA at 440 V. Those numbers put it in the high-breaking-capacity class — suitable for large transformer secondaries or busway feeds where fault current runs high. The built-in shunt trip (STL) allows remote tripping via a control voltage, which is useful for emergency-stop circuits or interlocking schemes.
The 3VA1132-6EF36-0HA0 measures 76.2 mm wide (3 in), 130 mm tall (5.12 in), and 70 mm deep (2.76 in). The 3-pole width matches the standard 3-inch-per-pole spacing for SENTRON 3VA1 frames. Maximum power dissipation is 10.6 W, which should be factored into enclosure thermal calculations. That covers most indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. No IP rating is listed, so it is intended for enclosed panel mounting, not washdown or outdoor exposure.
