63 A MCCB with shunt trip — line protection for distribution panels
The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1163-5EF32-0KA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous at 40 °C, with a TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release and an integrated shunt trip (STL) for remote tripping. The 76.2 mm width (3 in) and 70 mm depth (2.76 in) fit standard SENTRON panel footprints — no rework needed for a drop-in replacement in an existing 3VA1 lineup.
This MCCB delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. The TM240 release is fixed, so no field adjustment of the thermal or magnetic trip settings.
For BOM freeze or line-down situations, the active lifecycle means no last-time-buy pressure — but always confirm lead time at quote, as industrial MCCB demand can tighten supply windows.
