Product details

Its continuous current rating holds at 63 A from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient, then derates to 58 A at 70 °C — a thermal curve you can rely on for panel sizing without headroom guesswork. The breaking capacity is the headline figure for fault coordination: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, and still 11.9 kA at 690 V.

Built-in auxiliaries and release — what's on board

The UVR ensures the breaker trips on loss of control voltage — standard for emergency-stop chains or undervoltage protection schemes where you need the load disconnected when the control supply drops. A trip indicator is present, giving a local mechanical flag that the breaker has opened on fault rather than manually. The breaker does not include a communication module or ground-fault monitoring — it's a straight line-protection device with the auxiliaries you'd expect for remote status and undervoltage control.

Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size that fits the usual DIN-rail or mounting-plate footprint in distribution boards.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?

The breaking capacity is 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. These are the rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacities (Icu) per IEC 60947-2.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it ships with an undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release type. The UVR will trip the breaker when the control voltage falls below its dropout threshold.

What auxiliary switches are fitted on 3VA1163-4EF36-0BH0?

The breaker comes with 2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip alarm switch (HQ designation). This provides both status indication and a separate fault-signal contact.
