Product details

What this 320 A MCCB brings to the panel

The TM220 thermal-magnetic release gives you fixed short-circuit pickup at 3200 A (10× Ir), so it's set for motor or distribution duty right out of the box without dial-twiddling. This is a line-protection version, not a motor-protection variant with adjustable thermal curves. The 320 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 292 A at 70 °C — so in a hot enclosure you lose about 9% of headroom. Front IP40 means it's splash-safe from the front but not sealed; mount it inside a cabinet, not outdoors.

Fit and integration notes

That's a standard MCCB footprint — it bolts into a panel busbar system or mounts on a backplate with the supplied hardware. No communication module onboard — this is a standalone breaker, not a smart metering device.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VM1332-5GE42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

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 listed here.

What is the closest functional second-source for 3VM1332-5GE42-0AA0?

The peer MPNs 5SQ2670-2YA63, 5SQ2670-2YA16, and 5SQ2670-0KA15 are listed as potential alternates, but they are not drop-in replacements without verifying footprint, release curve, and breaking capacity against your specific panel design.
