Product details

Three-pole construction handles 3-phase loads. The interrupting ratings are 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. The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip unit is set for a full-scale value of 63 A with an initial value of 16 A. The minimum and maximum continuous current settings span 95 A to 756 A — so the trip range is wider than the frame rating, meaning you can dial it down for a smaller load without swapping the breaker body.

The 105 mm width is three-pole standard for the 3VA frame. The basic switch variant is 3VA21635JQ320AA0 — the same breaker without the communication module if you need a drop-in replacement for a non-communicating install.

What the voltage-trigger and trip indicator tell you

The breaker includes a voltage trigger. Undervoltage release is listed as No. Trip indicator is not fitted. Ground-fault monitoring uses summation current formation on the L-conductor — it measures the vector sum of phase currents to detect leakage to ground. This is a residual-current-based GF detection method, not a zero-sequence CT.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3VA2163-5JQ32-0KA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2063-8JQ32-0AA0?

Both breakers share the same 3VA frame dimensions (86 x 105 x 181 mm), so the mechanical fit is identical. The wiring difference is the communication terminal on the -5JQ32 variant — the -8JQ32 lacks that connection. No rewiring needed for the power circuit.
