Product details

SENTRON 3VA2 MCCB — 63 A, 3-Pole Line Protection

The 3VA2163-5HL36-0CH0: Rated 3-pole, it breaks up to 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. That 187 kA at 240 V is the headline figure — it tells you this breaker handles high-fault-capacity service-entrance or sub-distribution positions where available fault current is substantial. The 690 V figure is low, so verify system voltage against the curve before specifying for 690 V applications.

What Ships in the Carton — Kit Completeness

The 3VA2163-5HL36-0CH0 ships as a complete MCCB with an integrated undervoltage release (UVR) and a factory-fitted auxiliary switch block: 2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip alarm switch (HQ). No separate purchase needed for basic signaling — the kit is complete for a standard line-protection install. Dimensions are 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth — fits standard 3-pole MCCB panel cutouts and busbar centers.
