Product details

It's fitted with an ETU350 electronic overcurrent release, which provides adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous protection curves — not just a thermal-magnetic fixed trip.

The interrupting ratings span the common industrial voltages: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at both 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. At 415 V — the most common three-phase distribution voltage in much of the world — 121 kA covers nearly any secondary substation fault level you'll encounter.

Above that, it derates linearly: 60.6 A at 55 °C, 58.3 A at 60 °C, 55.9 A at 65 °C, and 53.6 A at 70 °C. The dimensions are 105 mm wide by 181 mm tall by 86 mm deep, which is the standard 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame footprint. Panel cutout and busbar spacing match the rest of the 3VA2 family, so swapping in a different rating or trip unit later doesn't require re-drilling the gland plate.

Auxiliary wiring and release coordination

The undervoltage release (UVR) is a separate device that must be wired to a control voltage — typically 24 VDC or 110-240 VAC depending on the specific UVR variant ordered with the breaker. When that control voltage drops, the UVR trips the MCCB instantly. The auxiliary contact block provides 2 form-C (changeover) auxiliary switches for status feedback, plus a dedicated trip alarm switch and an electrical alarm switch. These are useful for PLC inputs that need to distinguish between a manual open and a fault trip. Maximum power loss through the breaker at rated current is 6.5 W, which is modest for a 63 A electronic-trip MCCB and won't drive significant internal heating in a ventilated enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5HN36-0DL0 and get a price?

This part is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Submit a request with your quantity and target delivery; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2163-5HN36-0DL0 at 415 V?

It is rated for 121 kA at 415 V, which covers virtually all secondary substation fault levels at that voltage.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

It uses the ETU350 electronic overcurrent release, which provides adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous protection settings.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it is equipped with an undervoltage release (UVR) that trips the breaker when control voltage drops below the dropout threshold.
