Product details

Breaking capacity and thermal derating

This breaker's interrupting rating changes sharply with system voltage — 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. That 17 kA floor at 690 V is the number to check if you're feeding a 690 V motor control center; the high-side fault current available at the panelboard has to be below that. The TM210 release holds full 63 A rated current up through 50 °C ambient. At 55 °C it derates to 62 A, then 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C. If your panel sits near a hot process line or a bank of drives, plan for that 5 A drop at the top end of the temperature range.

Four-pole width at roughly 4 inches means it takes the same panel space as a standard IEC 4-pole MCCB — no surprises on the DIN rail or mounting plate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1163-5GD42-0AA0 at 415 V?

At 415 V the interrupting rating is 121 kA. At 240 V it is 187 kA, at 440 V it is 75.6 kA, and at 500 V and 690 V it is 17 kA.

What is the closest functional second-source to the 3VA1163-5GD42-0AA0?

The closest functional peer within the SENTRON 3VA family is the 3VA1110-5ED32-0AA0, but it is a 3-pole 100 A frame breaker with a different trip unit and lower interrupting capacity. The 3VA1163-5GD42-0AA0 is a 4-pole 63 A breaker with a TM210 release; the 3VA1110-5ED32-0AA0 uses a 3-pole 100 A frame with an electronic trip. They are not drop-in replacements — panel wiring and mounting footprint differ.

Where can I buy the 3VA1163-5GD42-0AA0?

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