Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-0KP42-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current, built around the ETU850 electronic trip unit. Breaking capacity is the headline number here: 440 kA at 415 V AC and 187 kA at 690 V AC. The 63 A rating holds steady across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C, so no derating headache in a warm enclosure. It's a line-protection design (not motor-protection), so it's meant for cable and busbar protection in power distribution. The front face carries an IP40 rating — fine inside a closed panel, but don't mount it where washdown water or dust could hit the front.

The breaker measures 86 mm deep, 140 mm wide, and 181 mm tall. That 140 mm width across four poles is standard for this frame size — it'll drop into a panel laid out for a SENTRON 3VA2 4-pole MCCB without re-drilling the mounting plate. The depth is shallow enough that it won't crowd the gland plate in a 300 mm deep enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2163-0KP42-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; pricing and stock status are confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA2163-0KP42-0AA0's breaking capacity at 415 V?

440 kA at 415 V AC, and 187 kA at 690 V AC — both are the ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity for this 63 A frame.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

The ETU850 electronic trip unit. It provides adjustable overload and short-circuit settings, plus configurable N-conductor protection from OFF to 160%.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, the 3VA2163-0KP42-0AA0 carries the usual CE, UL, and IEC certifications for molded case circuit breakers. Specific declarations (RoHS, REACH) are available on request with the RFQ.
