Product details

63 A continuous, flat across the thermal curve

Three-pole construction with the ETU340 electronic trip unit, line protection variant.

Interrupting capacity by voltage level

187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V. At 690 V the rating is 3.7 kA — this breaker is sized for 400 V class distribution where fault currents are high, not for 690 V motor circuits. The interrupting curve matches what you expect from a 63 A frame in the SENTRON 3VA2 family.

Current production — no LTB pressure

Lifecycle status is current. This part is in active manufacture and available through normal Siemens distribution channels. For BOM freeze planning, the 3VA2 platform is Siemens' mainline MCCB family — no imminent successor announced.

Standard DIN-rail mount or screw-mount via the 3VA accessory kit.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for this MCCB?

63 A continuous at 40–70 °C, 3-pole, ETU340 electronic trip, interrupting capacity 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, 3.7 kA at 690 V.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5HK36-0AA0?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

What are the physical dimensions of this breaker?

105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — fits standard 200 mm deep enclosures with room for wiring and accessories.

Will 3VA2163-5HK36-0AA0 drop into a panel wired for 3VA2163-5HL32-0JB0?

Both are 3-pole 63 A frames in the 3VA2 platform with the same physical footprint — 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep. The difference is the trip unit: ETU340 (electronic, adjustable) versus the 5HL32 variant's release. Panel cutout and bus bar spacing are identical; no rewiring needed for the breaker itself.
