Product details

The 3VM1132-4EE36-0AA2 is a Siemens SENTRON IEC molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, rated 32 A continuous at 40 °C through 50 °C. The headline numbers are the interrupting ratings: 121 kA at 240 V AC, 76 kA at 415 V AC, 53 kA at 440 V AC, and 11.9 kA at 500 V AC. The 76 kA at 415 V is the figure most European industrial panels will care about; the 121 kA at 240 V matters for North American 240/120 V services or large UPS output breakers.

TM220 release — what LI means in practice

The overcurrent release is a TM220, thermal-magnetic type, with LI protective function — that's long-time (thermal) and instantaneous (magnetic) protection. No electronic trip unit, no ground-fault module, no communication. The thermal element is adjustable: overload protection Ir from 22 A to 32 A, matching the 32 A frame rating. The instantaneous pickup Ii is fixed at 10 x In, so 320 A magnetic trip. That's a standard motor-start or distribution feeder curve — the thermal handles overloads, the magnetic clears hard shorts. The switching capacity class is S, meaning the frame is rated for the higher interrupting levels listed above, not the economy class.

Front-connected box terminals on the main circuit — standard for panelboard or distribution board mounting. The frame size is rated up to 160 A max, so this 32 A unit has plenty of mechanical clearance inside the case for heat dissipation.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VM1132-4EE36-0AA2 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your volume and delivery requirements.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VM1132-4EE36-0AA2 at 415 V?

76 kA at 415 V AC. That's the standard interrupting rating for the switching capacity class S at this voltage level.

What compliance documentation does this breaker carry?

The SENTRON 3VM1 series is designed to IEC 60947-2. The specific approvals (UL, CSA, CE, UKCA, EAC) should be confirmed from the manufacturer's declaration for the exact variant, but the IEC design is standard for European and global distribution panels.

Will 3VM1132-4EE36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0?

Not without checking the mounting footprint and connection arrangement. The 3VM1 and 3VA series share the same SENTRON frame sizes, but the 3VA has electronic trip units and optional communication modules that change the wiring and accessory layout. The 3VM1 is a simpler thermal-magnetic breaker with no auxiliary contacts or motor drive option — verify the panel cutout, terminal spacing, and accessory slots before substituting.
