The Siemens 5SY4232-8CV is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker with a D32 tripping characteristic and a rated ultimate breaking capacity (Icu) of 15 kA at 400 V AC. The D curve means it's designed to handle the inrush of motor or transformer loads without nuisance tripping on startup, while still protecting the downstream wiring against short circuits.
The D32 curve (32 A rated current, D trip) gives magnetic release at 10–20× In, so it's sized for loads like small motors, drives, or lighting transformers that draw a heavy inrush on power-up.
Panel integration
Standard DIN-rail mount, 2-pole width (roughly 36 mm on a 35 mm rail). No special panel prep beyond the usual DIN rail and busbar clearance.
