The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5KP32-0HA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full operating temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C, with no derating needed up to that limit.
The interrupting rating is 187 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V.
The thermal-magnetic trip can be set between 95 A minimum and 756 A maximum.
The physical dimensions (86 mm depth, 105 mm width, 181 mm height) are identical across the 3VA2 family, so the mechanical fit and bus-bar spacing are the same. No rewiring is needed for the power connections, but the control wiring for the shunt trip and communication terminals may differ — check the wiring diagram for the specific release variant.
Alternative models and sibling configurations in the same Siemens series. For obsolete or discontinued parts, these models can serve as compatible replacements or functional alternatives for plant maintenance.
