Product details

63 A MCCB with 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V

The SENTRON 3VA2163-5JQ32-0AE0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for continuous current of 63 A across the full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V, which covers most industrial service-entrance and distribution panel applications where high fault current is a concern. Designed for line protection, this MCCB includes a communication function and ships with four auxiliary switches (HQ type). The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip range spans 95 A minimum to 756 A maximum, with a full-scale value of 63 A and an initial setting of 16 A.

Footprint and panel fit

The 3VA2163-5JQ32-0AE0 measures 181 mm high, 105 mm wide, and 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size that drops into existing MCCB panel cutouts and busbar arrangements without rework. No undervoltage release or voltage-trip accessory is fitted from the factory, so if your BOM calls for those, plan for field-installable add-ons.
