Product details

Siemens 3VA1163-5EF42-0AC0 — 63 A SENTRON MCCB with TM240 Release

The Siemens 3VA1163-5EF42-0AC0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker from the SENTRON series, rated 63 A at 40 °C and carrying a TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release.

The 63 A continuous rating holds from 40 °C through 50 °C without derating; at 55 °C it drops to 62 A, at 65 °C to 60 A, and at 70 °C to 58 A — useful to know if the breaker lives in a hot enclosure or next to other heat sources.

Integration and Auxiliary Switching

The breaker ships with two factory-fitted HQ auxiliary switches, giving you status feedback for PLC inputs or alarm annunciation without adding a separate accessory. Dimensions are 130 mm height, 101.6 mm width, 70 mm depth (–) — standard SENTRON 3VA footprint for 4-pole frames, so it drops into the same panel cutout as other 3VA breakers of this size.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

The breaking capacity is 121 kA at 415 V, which covers most industrial distribution fault levels at that voltage.

Where can I buy the 3VA1163-5EF42-0AC0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release or ground-fault monitoring?

No. This variant has no undervoltage release and no ground-fault monitoring version. It ships with two HQ auxiliary switches and the TM240 overcurrent release.
