Product details

The line-protection version covers cable and busbar faults, not motor overload curves. Breaking capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V — those numbers tell you the maximum fault current it can safely interrupt at each voltage level, so the panel designer sizes the upstream transformer and bus bracing accordingly.

Thermal derating and real-world mounting

At 55 °C it derates to 60.48 A, at 60 °C to 59.22 A, at 65 °C to 57.96 A, and at 70 °C to 56.7 A. The front face is IP40, so it keeps out tools and fingers but not fine dust; mount it inside a sealed enclosure if the atmosphere is gritty. Dimensions are 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, and 130 mm tall — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits most DIN-rail or screw-mount panel layouts without re-drilling.

Auxiliary contacts and release options

It ships with two auxiliary switches HQ — those are the signal contacts that tell a PLC or indicator light whether the breaker is open or closed. The overcurrent release is the TM240, a fixed thermal-magnetic unit with a maximum adjustable response time of 1 second — not a solid-state electronic trip.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies 3VA1163-3EF32-0AC0 and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

We source this MCCB to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for volume pricing.

What are the key ratings of 3VA1163-3EF32-0AC0?

Rated continuous current is 63 A with a breaking capacity of 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V. It is a 3-pole line-protection MCCB with a TM240 thermal-magnetic release.

Will 3VA1163-3EF32-0AC0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA1010-4ED32-0AC0 without rewiring?

The 3VA1163-3EF32-0AC0 shares the same frame size and mounting footprint as the 3VA1010-4ED32-0AC0 — same 70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, and 130 mm height — so it fits the same panel cutout and bus connections. However, the trip rating and release type differ; verify the load current and coordination study before substituting.
