Product details

At 415/440 V the rating drops to 121 kA, still well above typical secondary-side fault levels.

Breaking capacity across voltages

The interrupting curve is what you check first when back-feeding a 480 V panel: at 500 V it holds 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it falls to 3.7 kA — that 690 V figure is the weak point, so if your system runs 690 V three-phase, this breaker is not the right choice for high-fault locations.

No undervoltage release, no ground-fault module, no communication function — this is a straight line-protection device meant for fixed-trip applications where you don't need shunt-trip or remote reset.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 240 V?

It is rated 187 kA at 240 VAC, dropping to 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V.

Will the 3VA2163-5HN36-0AH0 fit in a panel designed for a 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 105 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth footprint, so the mechanical fit and bus-bar spacing are identical. The difference is in the trip unit and accessories — the 5HN36 variant has 2 auxiliary switches plus a trip alarm, while the 8HM32 carries a different auxiliary configuration. No rewiring of the main power path is needed, but verify the auxiliary wiring matches your control scheme.

Where can I buy the 3VA2163-5HN36-0AH0?
