Product details

Three-pole construction with an 800 V rated insulation voltage. The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, drops to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — so for a 480 V panel you're looking at roughly 75–121 kA of fault-clearing muscle depending on the exact service voltage.

The auxiliary switch design carries two HQ auxiliary switches. If you need ground-fault monitoring or a shunt trip, this isn't the order code — check the 3VA21 family for those options.

It means this MCCB can sit in a warm cabinet next to drives or transformers without losing ampacity. The 187 kA at 240 V is the headline interrupting number; at typical industrial voltages (480Y/277 V) you're working with the 75.6 kA at 500 V figure, which still covers most transformer-fed fault currents below 2000 kVA.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5HL36-0AC0 and how is it quoted?

This MCCB is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quote — no stock count or price is published here.

What is the depth of 3VA2163-5HL36-0AC0?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in). That is the front-to-back dimension — critical for enclosure clearance behind the panel.

Will 3VA2163-5HL36-0AC0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same physical frame family, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing are shared. The 3VA2163 carries a higher interrupting capacity (187 kA vs the 3VA2116's lower rating) and a different trip curve — verify the trip unit settings match your coordination study before swapping.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

As a SENTRON series MCCB, it carries the standard Siemens declarations — RoHS, REACH, and IEC/UL certifications typical for the 3VA family. Specific certificate numbers are not listed in this spec set; they are available with the order documentation.
