The Siemens 3VM1132-5EE46-0AA2 is a 4-pole circuit breaker in the 3VM1 IEC frame 160 series, sized for line protection with a TM220 thermal-magnetic trip unit. The 32 A rating (In) with an overload protection range of 22 A to 32 A (Ir) means you set the continuous current threshold to match the load — typically a feeder or a distribution sub-panel — not a motor branch. The short-circuit protection is fixed at 10 x In (320 A), so it clears bolted faults fast but will not nuisance-trip on moderate inrush. That puts it in the M (medium) breaking capacity class, suited for industrial distribution where fault currents are high but not extreme.
Deployment context
The terminal connection accepts standard copper conductors sized for the 32 A rating.
