Product details

Breaking capacity — the number that decides coordination

At 240 V it interrupts 187 kA; at 415 V it's still 121 kA; at 440 V it drops to 75.6 kA; at 500 V and 690 V it holds at 7.5 kA. That steep fall-off above 440 V is the key selection constraint — if your system fault current at 690 V exceeds 7.5 kA, this breaker won't clear it, and you need a higher-rated frame or upstream current-limiting fuse.

Full rated current holds at 63 A up through 50 °C ambient. At 55 °C it derates to 62 A, at 60 °C to 61 A, at 65 °C to 60 A, and at 70 °C to 58 A. In a sealed, tightly packed panel that runs hot, that derating curve is your real-world ampacity — don't size the load to 63 A if the enclosure ambient is over 50 °C. That 76.2 mm (3-inch) width is the standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — it drops into the same DIN-rail or panel-mount slot as other SENTRON 3VA frames of this size class.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1163-5MH32-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

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

What does the TM120M release mean for motor protection?

The TM120M is a thermal-magnetic overcurrent release tuned for starter protection — the thermal element tracks motor heating curves, and the magnetic instantaneous pickup is set to ride through starting inrush without tripping.

What is the breaking capacity at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V — sufficient for most industrial distribution boards with typical transformer impedances.

What compliance documentation is available for this MCCB?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries the usual CE, UL, and IEC certifications for molded case circuit breakers. Specific document references (declarations of conformity, UL file numbers) are available from the manufacturer's support portal.
