Product details

The Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0AB0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current at 40 °C, with an ETU320 electronic trip unit providing line protection. The 63 A rating holds across 40 °C to 50 °C without derating; above that it steps down to 60.6 A at 55 °C and 53.6 A at 70 °C.

Trip unit and auxiliary contacts

If you need communication or phase-failure detection, this base version doesn't carry those modules; the 3VA platform offers them on other order codes. The breaker is rated for 20,000 mechanical/electrical endurance cycles — standard for a 63 A frame in this class. Maximum power loss is 4 W, which keeps heat manageable inside a sealed enclosure.

The interrupting capacity drops to 4.25 kA at 690 V — that's the limit of the frame at that voltage; verify coordination with upstream devices if you're running a 690 V distribution.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5HL36-0AB0 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Current pricing and lead time are confirmed at the time of quotation — no stock figures or ship dates are published here.

What are the key ratings for 3VA2163-5HL36-0AB0?

Rated continuous current Iu is 63 A at 40 °C, with a 3-pole configuration and ETU320 electronic trip unit. Interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V. Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep.

Does 3VA2163-5HL36-0AB0 include auxiliary contacts?

Yes, it comes with 2 auxiliary switches (HP type) for status signaling. No undervoltage release, no shunt trip, and no ground-fault monitoring are included on this variant.

What ambient temperature derating applies to this MCCB?

The 63 A rating holds from 40 °C to 50 °C. At 55 °C it derates to 60.6 A, at 60 °C to 58.3 A, at 65 °C to 55.9 A, and at 70 °C to 53.6 A. Operating range is -25 °C to 70 °C.
