Product details

It's a 3-pole breaker built for line protection, so it sits at the feeder or branch level in a distribution panel, protecting cables and downstream equipment from overcurrent and fault conditions. The breaking capacity tells you where it can safely interrupt a fault: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V.

The TM240 release is adjustable — you set the thermal pickup within the 63 A frame rating to match your load. The 63 A rating holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates slightly: 60.48 A at 55 °C, 59.22 A at 60 °C, 57.96 A at 65 °C, 56.7 A at 70 °C. If your panel runs hot, factor that derating into your load calculation. That means if your control voltage drops below the dropout threshold, the breaker trips automatically, which is common for emergency-stop circuits or undervoltage protection on motor feeders. The integrated auxiliary trip uses order code 3VA9608-0BB24 if you need to replace that sub-assembly. Mechanical endurance is rated at 15,000 cycles — that's the number of open-close operations the mechanism is tested for before wear becomes a concern. For a feeder breaker that cycles maybe a few times a year, that's plenty. For a frequently switched load, keep it in mind.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1163-3EF32-0CH0 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm lead time and price.

What are the key ratings for this MCCB?

Rated continuous current 63 A at 40 °C, 3-pole, TM240 thermal-magnetic release. Breaking capacity: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, 10.5 kA at 690 V. Rated insulation voltage 800 V.

Will 3VA1163-3EF32-0CH0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same frame class, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing are the same. The main difference is the release — this one has a TM240 thermal-magnetic release, while the peer has a different release variant. Verify the release curve matches your coordination study before swapping. No rewiring is needed for the power connections.
