Product details

It carries a rated continuous current Iu of 63 A with an interrupting capacity of 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 79 kA at 500 V. The 63 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C (–); above that it derates gradually to 53.55 A at 70 °C, so if your panel ambient runs hot, size accordingly.

Trip unit, auxiliaries, and communication

The overcurrent release is an ETU550 — an electronic trip unit with adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection curves. It gives you selectivity coordination options that a thermal-magnetic can't match. Communication function is built in, so it can talk to a higher-level energy management or monitoring system without an add-on module. No undervoltage release is fitted, and there is no phase-failure detection — that's handled by the ETU if needed.

The 3VA2163-5JP32-0JC0 is a 3-pole MCCB with dimensions of 105 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth (–). That 86 mm depth is the projection behind the panel face — important when you're fitting it into a shallow enclosure or a retrofit where the backpanel clearance is tight.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of this breaker at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V, same as at 440 V. At 500 V it drops to 79 kA, and at 690 V to 4.25 kA.

Does this MCCB have a communication function?

Yes, communication function is built in, compatible with SENTRON monitoring and control systems.

What trip unit does the 3VA2163-5JP32-0JC0 use?

It uses the ETU550 electronic trip unit, with adjustable protection curves and ground-fault capability.
