Product details

The Siemens 3VA2163-0MQ32-0AA0 is a SENTRON 3VA2 molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed specifically for motor protection, carrying a 63 A continuous current rating that holds flat from 40 °C through 70 °C — no derating needed across the typical panel ambient range. That 63 A is the rated continuous current (, –), so it handles a full-load motor current up to that value without nuisance tripping on a warm cabinet floor. The ETU860M electronic trip unit gives you adjustable trip classes: 10A, 10/10E, 20/20E, and 30/30E. That range covers everything from fast-clearing on short-cyclic loads (class 10A) to slower curves for high-inertia starts (class 30/30E). Phase failure detection and a ground-fault monitoring version using summation current formation on the L-conductor are built in — the breaker watches for a lost phase or leakage path without needing an external relay. The 690 V rating covers the higher-voltage distribution side where fault currents are lower but arc energy is greater.

Dimensions: 86 mm depth, 105 mm width, 181 mm height (–).

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA2163-0MQ32-0AA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commitment.

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V and 690 V?

At 415 V the breaking capacity is 440 kA; at 690 V it is 187 kA. These are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at those voltages.

What trip classes are available on the ETU860M?

The adjustable trip classes are 10A, 10/10E, 20/20E, and 30/30E. Select the class that matches your motor's starting characteristic — fast for short-cyclic loads, slow for high-inertia starts.

Does the 3VA2163-0MQ32-0AA0 include phase failure detection and ground-fault monitoring?

Yes, phase failure detection is built in, and the ground-fault monitoring version uses summation current formation on the L-conductor. No external relay is needed for these functions.

What are the physical dimensions of this MCCB?

Depth is 86 mm, width is 105 mm, and height is 181 mm (–). The 105 mm width fits a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint on DIN rail or direct panel mount.
