Product Description
3VA1132-6MH36-0AA0
The Siemens 3VA1132-6MH36-0AA0 is a 3-pole Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) from the 3VA1 IEC series, designed specifically for starter protection in low-voltage power distribution and motor applications. With a frame size of 160 and a high breaking capacity of 70 kA at 415 V (class H), it ensures dependable fault interruption under heavy-duty conditions. Equipped with the TM120M trip unit (AM type), it provides adjustable short-circuit protection (Ii 7–16 × In) without overload protection, making it ideal for use with external overload relays in starter circuits. A nut keeper kit is included for secure installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Siemens Sentron?
Siemens Sentron is a reliable power distribution solution designed to improve safety and efficiency in electrical systems. A Siemens Sentron power center combines a primary breaker disconnect, a dry-type shielded transformer, a secondary breaker disconnect, and a secondary power panel in one compact package. This design saves time, space, and installation costs compared to wiring and assembling components separately.
The Siemens Sentron 3VA series MCCBs (Molded Case Circuit Breakers) are part of the advanced Siemens MCCB product family, offering high performance, durability, and flexible applications for industrial and commercial power distribution. By choosing Siemens MCCBs, including the innovative SENTRON 3VA, users benefit from reliable circuit protection, optimized space utilization, and simplified installation.
What is the full form of MCCB in Siemens?
The full form of MCCB is Molded Case Circuit Breaker. A Siemens MCCB is designed to handle high electrical currents, often up to 1000A, making it highly reliable for industrial and commercial applications. These breakers provide advanced protection against overloads and short circuits, ensuring the safety of large electrical systems.
What is the difference between a Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCB) and an MCCB?
The main difference between an MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) and an MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker) lies in their capacity and applications.
✅MCBs are generally used for low-power applications, with a short-circuit breaking capacity of up to 10–15 kA. They are best suited for residential and light commercial systems.
✅ MCCBs, on the other hand, are designed for medium to high-power applications, with a breaking capacity ranging from 15 kA up to 100 kA and current ratings up to 1000A. This makes them ideal for industrial environments where large electrical loads need reliable protection.
Which company circuit breaker is best?
✅ In 2025, the leading circuit breaker brands include Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, Eaton, and Legrand. Among them, Siemens MCCBs—especially the Sentron 3VA series—stand out for safety, durability, and advanced circuit protection in industrial and commercial applications.
What breakers work in a Siemens box?
Siemens QT, QP, QAF, and QPF breakers fit Siemens panels. However, not all breakers are interchangeable—e.g., a QT breaker cannot replace a QP breaker. Always check compatibility before replacing.
