Product details

The Siemens 3VA2163-5HK46-0AA0 is a SENTRON 3VA2 molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated 63 A continuous at 40 °C through 70 °C — no derating needed across that band, which simplifies panel schedules in warm enclosures. Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V, making it a fit for high-fault locations like transformer secondaries or large motor control centers where upstream breakers need full selectivity. Four poles with ETU340 electronic trip unit; N-conductor protection adjustable OFF or 100 %.

The case measures 140 mm wide by 181 mm tall by 86 mm deep — a standard 3VA2 footprint that drops into existing SENTRON panel cutouts and busbar systems without re-drilling the mounting plate.

Trip unit and protection features

Power loss is 4 W maximum at rated current. Ambient operating range -25 °C to 70 °C; storage range -40 °C to 80 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3VA2163-5HK46-0AA0's listed depth (86 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 86 mm, with a width of 140 mm and height of 181 mm — a standard 3VA2 footprint.

Will 3VA2163-5HK46-0AA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 3VA2-frame breakers sharing the same 140 x 181 x 86 mm envelope, so the mechanical fit is identical. The difference is in the trip unit and accessories — verify the ETU340 settings and any add-on modules match the original panel design before swapping.
