Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5JQ36-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full 40 °C to 70 °C ambient range — no derating needed up to that ceiling.

This MCCB delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and at 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 187 kA figure at 240 V covers high-fault utility feeds in North American panels; the 121 kA at 415 V handles the common industrial fault level in IEC 60947-2 installations. At 690 V the capacity drops to 3.7 kA — adequate for most 690 V motor circuits but verify against your system's prospective short-circuit current.

The 105 mm width matches the common 4-module (4 x 27 mm) DIN-rail spacing used in SENTRON distribution boards, so it drops into an existing panel without re-drilling the mounting plate.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2163-5JQ36-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

Will 3VA2163-5JQ36-0AA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same 105 mm width footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. The 5JQ36 variant includes communication and ground-fault monitoring features that the 8HM32 may lack — verify the auxiliary wiring and control voltage requirements before swapping.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2163-5JQ36-0AA0?

Siemens provides RoHS and REACH declarations, plus IEC 60947-2 test certificates and UL listing documentation for the SENTRON 3VA series. Specific certificates are available on request.
