Product details

Siemens 3VA2163-5HL32-0CH0 — SENTRON MCCB for Line Protection

Interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V AC and 121 kA at 415/440 V, dropping to 75.6 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The steep drop at 690 V (3.7 kA) means this frame is not intended for 690 V high-fault installations — if your system runs 690 V with available fault current above a few kA, step up to a higher-rated SENTRON frame.

Auxiliary Switching and Undervoltage Release

The basic switch assembly carries order code 3VA21635HL320AA0. Power loss is rated at 6.5 W maximum — a modest thermal load for a 63 A frame, but worth noting if the breaker is grouped tightly in a non-ventilated enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2163-5HL32-0CH0 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V AC, which covers North American service-entrance requirements. At 415/440 V it is 121 kA, at 500 V it is 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA.

What is the continuous current rating and does it derate with temperature?

63 A continuous, and it holds that rating from 40 °C through 70 °C ambient — no derating required across the normal panel operating range.
