Product details

The breaker sits in a standard panel or enclosure footprint: 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep, with IP40 protection on the front face.

This MCCB carries a 220 kA interrupting rating at 240 V, dropping to 154 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. At 690 V the 17 kA rating is still substantial for a 63 A frame; you can coordinate this breaker downstream of a larger feeder without worrying about cascading failure.

Thermal derating — real-world current handling

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. Power dissipation tops out at 17.3 W, which is manageable for thermal budgeting in a multi-breaker panel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?

At 240 V it is rated 220 kA, at 415 V it is 154 kA, at 440 V it is 121 kA, and at 500 V and 690 V it is 17 kA.

What overcurrent release does this breaker use?

It uses a TM240 thermal-magnetic release — thermal for overload protection, magnetic for short-circuit protection, with a fixed trip curve.

Where can I buy 3VA1163-6GF42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

We supply this part through independent distribution. It is quoted to order against an RFQ; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
