Product details

Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then to 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. That 187 kA at 240 V is the figure that governs high-fault installations like large transformer secondaries or utility entrance panels; the 690 V rating tells you this is not a 690 V main — it's a 480 V class breaker with a residual 690 V rating for lightly faulted circuits.

Selectivity and coordination

The trip indicator gives a visible flag after a fault event, which speeds troubleshooting on a panel with multiple breakers. The undervoltage release (UVR) drops the breaker when control voltage falls below a threshold; this is typical for emergency-stop chains or undervoltage protection schemes where you want the breaker to open on loss of control power, not just on overcurrent.

Panel integration

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for a 63 A frame. The 105 mm width fits a 4-inch (101.6 mm) DIN-rail or panel-mount pattern with minimal overhang. Maximum power loss is 6.5 W, which is modest for this class; no forced cooling needed in a ventilated enclosure.

Auxiliary and alarm contacts

That gives you four discrete signals: two for position feedback (open/closed), one for a trip event, and one for an electrical alarm condition. The auxiliary release is an undervoltage release (UVR) — no shunt trip, no ground-fault module. If you need shunt trip or ground-fault monitoring, you are looking at a different order-code suffix.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 and how do I get a price?

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

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0?

The peer MPNs 5SQ2370-2YA05, 5SQ2370-2YA04, and 5SQ2370-2YA01 are listed as alternates. The 5SQ2370-2YA05 is the closest functional match — same 63 A class, 3-pole, line-protection MCCB — but verify the auxiliary contact configuration and undervoltage release fit before substituting. The 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 includes an undervoltage release and four auxiliary/alarm switches; the 5SQ2370-2YA05 may have a different contact complement.

What is the depth of 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0?

Depth is 86 mm (3.39 in).

What is the width of 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0?

Width is 105 mm (4.13 in).

Will 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 drop into a panel specified around 5SQ2370-2YA05 without rewiring?

The 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 is a 3-pole MCCB in the same 63 A frame class as the 5SQ2370-2YA05, so the power connections (line/load lugs) will fit the same bus bars. However, the auxiliary contact arrangement differs — the 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 has 2 auxiliary switches + 1 trip alarm + 1 electrical alarm, while the 5SQ2370-2YA05 may have a different count. Check the control wiring for the undervoltage release and alarm signals before direct swap.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0?

The evidence does not list specific compliance documents (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) for this order code. Standard Siemens SENTRON MCCBs carry UL 489 and IEC 60947-2 certifications; confirm the specific declaration of conformity or UL file number with the order documentation.
