Product details

63 A MCCB with high interrupting capacity for line protection

Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — the 187 kA figure at 240 V means it can safely clear a fault on a high-capacity transformer secondary without the arc re-striking, a critical spec for main breaker applications where fault current is highest.

Panel fit and auxiliary configuration

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size that fits existing 3VA panel cutouts and busbar arrangements. The breaker ships with the basic switch 3VA21635HL320AA0 and is configured for 4 auxiliary switches (HQ type), providing status feedback for PLC inputs or remote monitoring without needing an add-on module.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5HL32-0AE0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2163-5HL32-0AE0 at different voltages?

187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 187 kA rating at 240 V makes it suitable for high-fault-current main breakers on large transformers.

Does 3VA2163-5HL32-0AE0 require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?

No derating required from 40 °C through 70 °C — it holds its full 63 A rating across that entire range, which simplifies panel design for hot environments.

What are the physical dimensions of 3VA2163-5HL32-0AE0?

105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep. Fits standard SENTRON 3VA panel cutouts.
