Product details

At 415 V it still breaks 121 kA, so it's sized for high-fault industrial panels, not light commercial gear. The electronic trip unit is an ETU560, which gives you adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous protection curves. That matters when you're coordinating with downstream breakers — you can shape the trip to avoid nuisance trips on motor inrush. The breaker also has a communication function, so it can talk to a BMS or PLC for remote monitoring and trip event logging.

That UVR is handy for safety circuits — if the control voltage drops, the breaker opens without waiting for an overcurrent event.

Temperature derating — don't ignore it

Above that, it starts to step down: 60.6 A at 55 °C, 58.3 A at 60 °C, 55.9 A at 65 °C, and 53.6 A at 70 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What are the interrupting ratings for 3VA2163-5JQ42-0GF0?

At 240 V it interrupts 187 kA, at 415 V it interrupts 121 kA, and at 690 V it interrupts 3.75 kA.

Will 3VA2163-5JQ42-0GF0 drop into a panel designed for 3VA2163-5HL32-0DB0?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame breakers with the same physical footprint, so the mechanical fit is the same. The difference is in the trip unit and accessories — the 5HL32 variant uses a different release. Check the wiring diagram for the auxiliary contacts and UVR before swapping.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5JQ42-0GF0 and get current pricing?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote and we'll confirm availability and current pricing at that time.
