Product details

The Siemens 3VA2163-5JQ32-0DH0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current at 40 °C through 50 °C, with no derating needed across that band. Above 50 °C it steps down: 60.6375 A at 55 °C, 58.275 A at 60 °C, 55.9125 A at 65 °C, and 53.55 A at 70 °C — so if your panel ambient runs hot, the 63 A nameplate only holds below 55 °C. The interrupting capacity tells the real story: 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. The 4.25 kA at 690 V is low enough that you need to check selectivity upstream if you're running 690 V gear. The ETU560 electronic trip unit handles the curve shaping — line protection profile, no voltage trigger, no phase failure detection.

Footprint is 105 mm wide by 181 mm tall by 86 mm deep — standard 3-pole MCCB envelope for a 63 A frame. The depth is tight enough that most 600 mm deep enclosures leave room behind the gland plate for wiring. Communication function is onboard, so it can talk to a BMS or PLC without a separate module.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5JQ32-0DH0 and what is the lead time?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time number is published here.

What are the key interrupting ratings for 3VA2163-5JQ32-0DH0?

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. The 187 kA figure covers high-fault commercial mains; the 121 kA at 415 V covers most industrial distribution.

What is the depth of 3VA2163-5JQ32-0DH0?

86 mm deep, with a width of 105 mm and height of 181 mm — standard 3-pole MCCB envelope for a 63 A frame.

Does 3VA2163-5JQ32-0DH0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, an undervoltage release (UVR) is integrated, along with 2 auxiliary switches and 1 trip alarm switch HQ, plus communication function.
