Product details

The 3VA2163-5HL36-0KL0: The 63 A continuous rating is the thermal-magnetic trip's backbone — it's rated for the full 63 A load at any ambient from 40 °C up to 70 °C, which is unusual. Most MCCBs start derating above 40 °C; this one doesn't, so you can mount it in a hot panel next to drives or transformers without oversizing. The 187 kA interrupting rating at 240 V is the headline number, but the real-world selectivity story is at 415 V (121 kA) and 500 V (75.6 kA). At 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA — that's still enough for most 690 V motor branch circuits, but you'll need coordination study if you're feeding a 690 V transformer secondary. That means you get remote status, trip indication, and a separate alarm contact without adding aftermarket modules.

It's a 3-pole SENTRON MCCB sized for line protection — meaning it's the main or feeder breaker in a distribution panel, not a motor-circuit protector.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2163-5HL36-0KL0 at different voltages?

At 240 V it interrupts 187 kA, at 415 V and 440 V it's 121 kA, at 500 V it's 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it's 3.7 kA. That covers most industrial distribution voltages with healthy margin for high-fault services.

What auxiliary switches come with this breaker?

The factory configuration includes 2 auxiliary switches, 1 trip alarm switch, and 1 electrical alarm switch — all built into the breaker, no separate modules needed. It also has a shunt trip release (STL) for remote tripping.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5HL36-0KL0 and what is the lead time?

We source this part to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for the latest lead time and price.

Will 3VA2163-5HL36-0KL0 drop into a panel built for 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs sharing the same SENTRON mounting footprint and busbar system, so the physical swap is straightforward. The key difference is rating: this one is 63 A continuous with 187 kA at 240 V, while the 3VA2116 variant is a 16 A frame with lower interrupting capacity. Verify the load and SCCR requirements before swapping.
