IMO UB10C3032A 32A UL 489 Circuit Breaker, 3-pole, C Curve, 10kA
32A 3-pole C-curve miniature circuit breaker with thermo-magnetic protection, 10kA breaking capacity, DIN-rail mounting, and UL 489 approval.
Why Choose the IMO UB10C3032A Circuit Breaker?
The IMO Precision Controls UB10C3032A is a 32A 3-pole miniature circuit breaker for higher-current three-phase machinery and distribution branches engineered for a 32A C-curve breaker. It is rated for 480Y/277V AC and provides UL 489 branch-circuit protection in industrial control panels, machinery, and distribution equipment when applied within its electrical ratings.
Thermo-magnetic operation combines a thermal response for sustained overloads with rapid magnetic response during severe faults. The C curve accommodates moderate equipment inrush while still responding rapidly to severe faults. A contact-position indicator provides a clear visual reference during inspection and troubleshooting.
ā” 32A Rating
Protects a correctly sized 3-pole branch circuit rated for 32A
š C Trip Curve
5ā10 Ć In magnetic range supports loads with moderate startup current
š”ļø 10kA Capacity
Provides 10kA short-circuit breaking capacity for suitable electrical systems
ā
UL 489 Approved
Approved for branch-circuit protection when selected and installed correctly
ā ļø Coordinate the 32A 3-pole Breaker with the Load
Confirm the 32A rating, 3-pole configuration, conductor current, 480Y/277V AC rating, available fault current, C trip curve, ambient conditions, and equipment requirements before installation.
š 32A C-Curve Magnetic Trip Range
The C-curve magnetic element operates at 5ā10 times rated current. For the UB10C3032A, this corresponds to an instantaneous magnetic range of approximately 160ā320A. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads. Confirm coordination with normal startup current and upstream or downstream protective devices.

š 3-pole Breaker Selection and Installation Overview
1. Calculate the Load: Confirm that conductor current and connected equipment are compatible with a 32A protective device.
2. Verify Pole and Voltage Requirements: Confirm that the circuit requires 3 poles and operates within the 480Y/277V AC rating.
3. Check Fault and Inrush Current: Verify the available fault current, 10kA breaking capacity, and compatibility of the C curve with normal startup demand.
4. Mount and Terminate: Install on DIN rail using conductors within the specified 18ā3 AWG range and apply the listed 2.5 Nm terminal torque.
5. Inspect Before Energizing: Verify wiring, labeling, protective-device coordination, and code compliance before commissioning.
Circuit-breaker selection and installation must be completed by qualified personnel in accordance with the equipment documentation and applicable electrical codes.
