Product details

That's a serious SCCR figure — you can place this breaker at the main or a large subfeed in an industrial distribution panel and still coordinate downstream.

Trip unit and protection functions

The ETU860M electronic trip unit gives you adjustable trip classes: 10A, 10/10E, 20/20E, and 30/30E. That range covers fast-clearing for short motor leads up to slower curves for high-inertia loads like fans or centrifuges. The I²t trip is adjustable, and the breaker includes a communication function for integration into a higher-level monitoring system. That's useful for a plant-wide power management scheme where you want trip events and load data pulled back to a SCADA or energy dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2163-0MQ36-0AA0?

It is rated 440 kA at 415 V and 187 kA at 690 V, making it suitable for high-fault-current industrial mains or subfeeds.

What trip classes does the ETU860M offer?

The adjustable trip classes are 10A, 10/10E, 20/20E, and 30/30E, covering fast motor protection through high-inertia loads.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-0MQ36-0AA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA2163-0MQ36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame MCCBs with the same 105 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth, so the physical footprint is identical. The difference is in the trip unit and protection functions — verify the protective settings match your coordination study before swapping.
