Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1163-6EF36-0JC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection in distribution panels. It carries a continuous current of 63 A at 40 °C, with minimal thermal derating: 63 A holds through 50 °C, then steps down to 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C. The interrupting capacity reaches 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V.

Panel integration: the breaker occupies a 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep footprint. It mounts on a DIN rail or panel plate via the standard SENTRON MCCB latch mechanism. The 3-pole design fits typical 3-phase distribution sub-feeders. Power loss is 17.3 W maximum, which should be factored into enclosure thermal calculations. Operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C; storage range is -40 °C to 80 °C.

The breaker includes a shunt trip (STL) auxiliary release and two HQ auxiliary switches. It does not carry an undervoltage release, ground-fault monitoring, or communication function. The trip indicator is not fitted. The supplied basic switch order code is 3VA11636EF360AA0.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3VA1163-6EF36-0JC0's rated current at elevated temperatures?

It is rated 63 A at 40 °C, 45 °C, and 50 °C, then derates to 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C.

Where can I buy 3VA1163-6EF36-0JC0 and how is it quoted?

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

Will 3VA1163-6EF36-0JC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 without rewiring?

Both are SENTRON 3-pole MCCBs with similar footprint dimensions, but the 3VA1163-6EF36-0JC0 carries a higher 63 A rating versus the 3VA1110 series' lower amperage. Verify the busbar and lug arrangement against the existing panel layout before substitution.
