Product details

What this 63 A MCCB delivers in a panel

It sits in a 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep footprint — a standard three-module width on DIN rail, so it occupies the same slot as most 63 A frame MCCBs. The interrupting capacity is what sets this part apart: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The 63 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 60.48 A at 55 °C and 56.7 A at 70 °C; if your panel ambient pushes past 50 °C, size the load at the derated value, not the nameplate.

What the auxiliary switch complement means for integration

The breaker ships with 2 auxiliary switches configured as HQ (high-quantity) contacts — these are built-in, not field-added. The TM240 release is fixed thermal and magnetic — no adjustable trip curve, no electronic trip unit. That makes it a straightforward fit for standard motor branch circuits or feeder protection where you don't need coordination tweaking.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1163-5EF32-0AC0 and how do I get a price?

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

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1163-5EF32-0AC0 at 240 V?

It interrupts 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The 187 kA rating at 240 V makes it suitable for high-fault-current main breaker positions.

Does 3VA1163-5EF32-0AC0 include auxiliary contacts?

Yes, it comes with 2 built-in auxiliary switches (HQ type) for status feedback. No undervoltage release, shunt trip, or ground-fault monitoring is included on this variant.
