Product details

Communication function is built in, meaning it can report status to a higher-level system without an external module.

Breaking capacity across voltages — where it works and where it doesn't

At 415 V it still delivers 121 kA — enough for most industrial distribution boards with a transformer secondary. At 690 V it falls to 3.7 kA, which is a hard limit: if your fault current exceeds that, this breaker will not clear it safely. For 690 V applications, step up to the 3VA2 frame with a higher interrupting rating, or coordinate with a current-limiting upstream device.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5JQ32-0BC0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2163-5JQ32-0BC0?

The closest peer is 3VA2163-5HL32-0JB0, which shares the same 63 A frame and 3-pole design but differs in auxiliary release configuration. The 5JQ32 variant includes an undervoltage release; the 5HL32 does not. Panel footprint is identical, so it will mount in the same space, but the UVR function must be handled externally if you swap.

What is the depth of 3VA2163-5JQ32-0BC0?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in). This is the dimension from the mounting surface to the front of the breaker body — enough to clear most 200 mm deep enclosures.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

The SENTRON 3VA2 series carries UL, CSA, and IEC certifications. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens. Specific document numbers are not listed here, but the brand provides a declaration of conformity and test reports on request.
