Product details

The Siemens 3VA1163-4EF32-0AG0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) for line protection, rated 63 A continuous current with a TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. It carries a 121 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V — so it handles high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without cascading upstream breakers.

Three-pole design, 76.2 mm wide and 70 mm deep — fits a standard 3-pole MCCB slot in a SENTRON panelboard or standalone enclosure. IP40 on the front, so it's suited for indoor panel mounting where dripping water isn't a concern. The auxiliary contact version includes one auxiliary switch plus one trip alarm switch (HP type), giving a clean signal back to a PLC or annunciator on trip.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1163-4EF32-0AG0 at 415 V?

75.6 kA at 415 V, which is typical for a high-interrupting MCCB on a 400 V class distribution board.

Where can I buy 3VA1163-4EF32-0AG0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA1163-4EF32-0AG0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 76.2 mm width and 70 mm depth, so the mechanical footprint is identical. The 3VA1163-4EF32-0AG0 is rated 63 A with a TM240 release, while the 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 is a lower-current variant — verify the load current and trip curve match before swapping.
