Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-0KP36-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current, carrying an ETU850 electronic trip unit that supports adjustable overload and short-circuit protection curves. The front face is IP40, so it's suited for enclosed panel mounting where incidental tool contact is the only exposure. The ETU850 trip unit provides adjustable N-conductor protection from OFF to 160% in steps, plus a communication function for remote monitoring or integration into a higher-level energy management system. The 63 A rating holds flat across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating curve to track when the panel runs hot.

At 105 mm wide × 181 mm tall × 86 mm deep, this MCCB fits standard SENTRON 3VA mounting footprints. The depth of 86 mm (3.39 in) means it clears most 200 mm deep enclosures with room for rear cable routing. Verify the busbar adapter or lug kit compatibility if retrofitting into an existing panel — the 3VA frame shares the same mounting hole pattern as earlier 3VL series, but the accessory catalog changed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

The rated ultimate breaking capacity (Icu) is 440 kA at 415 V AC. At 690 V AC it is 187 kA. These figures apply to the 3-pole configuration with the ETU850 trip unit.

What trip unit does the 3VA2163-0KP36-0AA0 use?

It uses the ETU850 electronic trip unit, which provides adjustable overload (Ir) and short-circuit (Isd, Ii) protection, plus adjustable N-conductor protection from OFF to 160%.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-0KP36-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and lead time; availability is confirmed at quote time. No minimum order quantity applies for standard requests.

Will 3VA2163-0KP36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA frame MCCBs with the same mounting footprint (105 mm width, same hole pattern). The 0KP36 variant uses an ETU850 trip unit; the 8HM32 uses a different trip. Physically they interchange, but verify the trip curve and accessory compatibility (shunt trip, aux contacts) before swapping — the accessory catalog differs between the two order codes.
