Product details

Panel fit and interrupting capacity

The 3VA1163-4GF46-0AA0: Interrupting capacity is the headline here: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and still 11.9 kA at 690 V. Dimensions: 101.6 mm wide (4 inches), 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep. That width is a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint — fits existing SENTRON mounting bases and busbar adapters without panel rework.

Derating and thermal management

Above that, the curve drops: 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C. That 5 A total loss from 50 °C to 70 °C is mild — the TM240 release is thermally efficient, so you don't lose a full frame size in a hot enclosure. Maximum power dissipation is 17.3 W at rated load; plan ventilation if stacking breakers in a sealed cabinet. The storage floor matters if this sits in an unheated warehouse over winter — no issue down to -40 °C.

No communication function onboard — this is a standalone thermal-magnetic breaker, not a power metering or communication variant. If you need remote trip indication, plan for an auxiliary switch add-on (the product extension for motor drive is available, meaning the mechanical accessories slot is populated).

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1163-4GF46-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your quantity and target delivery window.

What is 3VA1163-4GF46-0AA0's interrupting capacity at 415 V?

75.6 kA at 415 V. That's well above typical industrial panel fault levels (usually 25–50 kA), so it provides headroom for high-capacity transformer feeds.

What compliance documentation does this breaker carry?

As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, it carries IEC and UL certifications typical for the 3VA series. Specific documentation (declaration of conformity, UL file number) is available on request with the RFQ.

Will 3VA1163-4GF46-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 without rewiring?

Not directly — the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 is a different frame size and pole count. The 3VA1163-4GF46-0AA0 is a 4-pole 63 A breaker; the 3VA1110 is a 3-pole 100 A unit. Mounting base, busbar pitch, and lug sizes differ. Stick with the exact order code for a drop-in replacement.
