It carries dual breaking capacities — 6 kA per IEC/EN 60898-1 for general branch-circuit protection, and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 / UL1077 for industrial panel applications where higher fault current is expected.
At 32 A continuous, the 5SY6232-6 handles a 7 kW resistive load on a 230/400 VAC system. Temperature derating is published: full 32 A up to 35 °C, then 30.46 A at 40 °C, 29.66 A at 45 °C, 28.86 A at 50 °C, and 28 A at 55 °C. The 5SY6232-6 is sealable, halogen-free, and silicon-free — relevant for food-and-bev or pharmaceutical lines where outgassing or contamination is a concern.
