Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — figures that tell you this breaker can handle serious fault currents on distribution transformers or large motor feeders without cascading upstream. At 690 V the 17 kA rating still covers most industrial drives and motor control center feeds. It's a straightforward workhorse for panels where you need a hard-wired, no-frills overcurrent protective device.
The 3VA1163-5EE32-0AE0 measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep. It mounts in a standard panel or enclosure footprint — the 76.2 mm width (three 25.4 mm pole spacings) means it fits the same cutouts as other 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs. The TM220 release is adjustable for the long-time response (tr max. 1 s), but there's no voltage trigger, undervoltage release, or phase-failure detection built in. If you need those, you add external modules or specify a different version.
