Product details

Breaking capacity runs 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V — so the high-fault rating at the lower voltages is what you're buying here; the 690 V figure tells you this isn't a 690 V main breaker for a high-impedance system.

Thermal derating — what the 63 A really means at panel ambient

Above that it steps down: 60.6375 A at 55 °C, 58.275 A at 60 °C, 55.9125 A at 65 °C, and 53.55 A at 70 °C. Size the upstream conductor and downstream load accordingly; the trip unit doesn't compensate for ambient inside the enclosure.

Auxiliary contacts and trip alarm — what's on the side

That's enough for a remote status signal and a separate alarm on fault trip without adding a module.

Panel fit — dimensions and front IP

Listed as current production — no phase-out notice on this code. That means it's a standard BOM line, not a last-time-buy scavenger hunt.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2163-5HN32-0AH0 at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V, same as at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 187 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 4.25 kA.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5HN32-0AH0?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

An ETU350 electronic trip unit, configured for line protection. No undervoltage release, no ground-fault monitoring, and no communication function on this variant.
