Product details

It carries a continuous current rating of 63 A across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C, meaning no derating needed when the panel runs hot — that's the same 63 A at 70 °C as it is at 40 °C. The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip unit covers a range from 95 A minimum to 756 A maximum, so you set the instantaneous pickup to match the inrush of your motor or transformer load without swapping the breaker body.

This MCCB interrupts 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. At 690 V the capacity drops to 3.7 kA, so verify your available fault current if you're using this on a 690 V system.

At 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, and 86 mm deep, this 3-pole MCCB fits standard panel cutouts for SENTRON 3VA2 frames. The depth of 86 mm (3.39 in) matters when you're laying out bus bars or rear-access wiring — make sure your enclosure depth clears it with room for cable bending radius.

Auxiliary and communication options

The base switch variant is 3VA21635JP320AA0. Communication function is built in, which on the 3VA2 platform typically means PROFIBUS or PROFINET capability for integration into a higher-level control system.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2163-5JP32-0AF0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. We source through independent distribution and confirm current pricing and availability at quote time.

Will 3VA2163-5JP32-0AF0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with similar frame sizes and the same auxiliary switch configuration (1 aux + 1 trip alarm HQ). The physical dimensions are comparable, so panel cutout and bus-bar layout should be compatible, but verify the terminal arrangement against your specific wiring plan before committing.

What is the adjustable trip range on this MCCB?

The thermal-magnetic trip unit adjusts from a minimum of 95 A to a maximum of 756 A, giving flexibility to match the load without changing the breaker.
