Product details

It carries 63 A continuously at 40 °C, derating to 58 A at 70 °C — so for a 60 A continuous load in a warm enclosure, this frame holds without nuisance tripping.

Breaking capacity & selectivity

Rated short-circuit breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500/690 V.

Auxiliary switch & undervoltage release

Verify coil voltage rating against your control supply before wiring.

Thermal derating & power loss

63 A continuous at 40 °C ambient, flat to 50 °C, then steps down: 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, 58 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 19.8 W — relevant for panel heat budget in a sealed enclosure. Mount with adequate ventilation around the arc chutes.

Panel fit & dimensions

Footprint: 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — fits standard 3-pole MCCB cutout in a SENTRON or third-party distribution board. The trip indicator confirms the breaker has opened on fault, not manually.

Frequently asked questions

What auxiliary switches are included on 3VA1163-5EF32-0BH0?
