Product details

Breaking capacity by voltage level

The interrupting rating drops with system voltage: 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. At 690 V it's essentially a distribution-only rating — not for motor-starting duty at that voltage.

Thermal performance across ambient range

The 4 W maximum power loss is manageable for enclosure heat budgets.

Integrated communication and auxiliary options

This breaker includes a communication function for integration into networked power monitoring schemes.

Three-pole construction, so it occupies one full pole position in a distribution panel. No trip indicator on the front face; trip status comes through the auxiliary switches.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5KP32-0HC0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time, not from a static listing.

What is 3VA2163-5KP32-0HC0's listed depth?

Depth is 86 mm (3.39 in). Width is 105 mm (4.13 in), height is 181 mm (7.13 in).

Will 3VA2163-5KP32-0HC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame breakers with the same 105 mm width, so the mechanical footprint matches. However, the 3VA2163-5KP32-0HC0 carries a 63 A continuous rating versus the lower rating of the 3VA2116 variant — verify the connected load and conductor sizing before substitution.
