Product details

The interrupting capacity is what varies with system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. At 630 A continuous, the power loss hits 192.9 W maximum — that's heat you need to vent in the enclosure.

Thermal derating — where the 630 A holds and where it drops

At 55 °C it derates to 618 A, at 60 °C to 607 A, at 65 °C to 595 A, and at 70 °C to 583 A. If your panel ambient runs hot — say, near a transformer or in a non-conditioned enclosure — the 55 °C to 70 °C band is where you lose roughly 2% to 7.5% of the rating.

Panel fit — dimensions and IP rating

The 3VA1463-5GE42-0AA0 measures 248 mm high, 184 mm wide, and 110 mm deep — a 4-pole frame that needs a 7.24-inch wide cutout in the panel door.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1463-5GE42-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time, not published here.

What is the interrupting capacity of this breaker at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V AC. At 415 V and 440 V it's 121 kA, at 500 V it's 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 11.9 kA.

What does the TM220 release designation mean?

TM220 is a thermal-magnetic fixed release — the thermal element handles overload protection, the magnetic element handles short-circuit protection. The 220 suffix indicates the specific trip-curve tuning for this 630 A frame. No adjustment or trip-indicator is fitted on this variant.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

The SENTRON 3VA series carries IEC 60947-2 certification as a molded case circuit breaker. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is standard from Siemens for this catalog number. Specific UL/CSA listings should be verified against the nameplate for the target jurisdiction.
