Product details

The 3VA1163-5EF36-0AC0: Interrupting capacity is the headline here: 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 overcurrent release is a thermal-magnetic type, fixed at 63 A. Two HQ auxiliary switches ride along for status feedback.

The 76.2 mm width (3 inches) is standard for a 3-pole MCCB in this class — it occupies one 3-inch mounting slot in a SENTRON distribution panel or switchboard. Depth of 70 mm leaves room for rear busbar connections without crowding the gland plate. Power loss is 17.3 W maximum — modest for a 63 A breaker, so thermal management inside a sealed enclosure is straightforward.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1163-5EF36-0AC0 and how do I get a price?

This MCCB is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a quote request; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA1163-5EF36-0AC0's interrupting capacity at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V, which is high for a 63 A frame and suitable for high-fault industrial switchgear.

Will 3VA1163-5EF36-0AC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA1 MCCBs with the same 76.2 mm width and 70 mm depth, so the footprint and busbar spacing are identical. The 3VA1163-5EF36-0AC0 carries a 63 A TM240 release versus the 3VA1110's lower rating — verify the load current and cable sizing before swapping, but the mechanical fit is a direct drop-in.
