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 same breaker covers both high-fault 240 V distribution and lower-fault 690 V motor circuits without upsizing the frame.

Thermal derating — the real ampacity

Above that it steps down: 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. If your panel ambient runs 60 °C, plan for 58 A continuous — the 63 A nameplate applies only up to 50 °C.

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for a 160 A frame. The auxiliary contact version is 2 HQ (two changeover contacts), and there is no undervoltage release or voltage trip fitted from the factory.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2163-5JQ32-0AC0 at different voltages?

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.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

It uses the ETU560 electronic trip unit with communication capability and ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on the L-conductor.
