Product details

What this 2-pole C-curve 32 A MCB does on the rail

Breaking capacity is 4.5 kA per EN 60898 at 400 V AC, and 5 kA per IEC 60947-2 — enough for most domestic and light commercial distribution boards where the prospective fault current stays under that threshold. The 400 V AC rated supply voltage (440 V max multi-phase) covers standard three-phase line-to-line feeds in European-style panels.

Sealable with a lead seal (provision built in) for tamper-evident metering or critical circuits. Degree of pollution 2 and overvoltage category III are standard for fixed-installation distribution boards.

Power loss and thermal consideration

Each pole dissipates 3.1 W in hot operating state at rated current. For a 2-pole breaker that's 6.2 W total — negligible in a ventilated enclosure, but worth checking if the breaker is packed tight with other heat sources in a sealed box.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL3232-7?

4.5 kA per EN 60898 and 5 kA per IEC 60947-2, both at 400 V AC. The higher IEC figure gives some headroom for industrial panel coordination studies.

Will 5SL3232-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SL6220-7 without rewiring?

Yes — both are 2-pole, 2 MW wide (36 mm), same depth and mounting. The 5SL6220-7 has a higher breaking capacity (6 kA vs 4.5 kA EN 60898) and lower per-pole power loss (2.2 W vs 3.1 W), but the footprint and terminal layout are identical. No rewiring needed for a direct swap.

Where can I buy the 5SL3232-7 and how is it quoted?
