It carries 4 poles and a TM220 thermal-magnetic trip unit, rated at 320 A continuously at 40 °C ambient — the current holds flat through 50 °C, then derates to 292 A at 70 °C, which is the maximum operating temperature. That thermal curve matters for panel builders: if your enclosure runs hot, the breaker self-limits before the load does. Breaking capacity is the headline number here: 440 kA at 240 V AC, 242 kA at 415 V, and still 154 kA at 500 V. For a 320 A frame, those are high-interrupting ratings — the kind you spec for a main feeder or a high-fault industrial service entrance where the utility transformer is close. Physical footprint: 248 mm tall, 184 mm wide, 110 mm deep. Front face carries IP40 protection — splash protection on the front cover, but the terminals themselves are not sealed. Power loss at full rated current is 80.1 W, which you need to account for in the enclosure thermal calculation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the breaking capacity of the 3VA1332-7EE42-0AA0 at 415 V?
242 kA at 415 V AC, and the same rating at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 440 kA, and at 500 V it's still 154 kA.
Where can I buy the 3VA1332-7EE42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?
This MCCB is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.
Does the 3VA1332-7EE42-0AA0 include communication or ground-fault monitoring?
No — this breaker has no communication function and no ground-fault monitoring version. It is a straight thermal-magnetic line-protection device.
