Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5KQ32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current at 40 °C through 70 °C, with no derating across that ambient range. Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V, which puts it squarely in high-fault-duty distribution — think main breaker in a 480 V panel feeding downstream branch feeders.

At 240 V the breaker clears 187 kA; at 415 V it clears 121 kA; at 500 V it clears 75.6 kA; at 690 V it clears 3.7 kA. That steep drop above 500 V is typical for a 63 A frame — the arc energy at 690 V exceeds what the internal arc chutes can stretch in this size. For a 480 V distribution panel the 121 kA rating at 440 V is the relevant figure; it gives headroom above a typical 65 kA or 100 kA available fault current. The 63 A frame also carries a minimum trip threshold of 95 A and a maximum of 756 A, which defines the magnetic trip band for short-circuit protection.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5KQ32-0AA0 and get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Submit a request for quote; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the interrupting capacity at 480 V?

At 440 V (the nearest standard test voltage to 480 V) the interrupting capacity is 121 kA. At 500 V it drops to 75.6 kA.

Does this breaker have a trip indicator?

No, the trip indicator is not present on this variant. The communication function can provide remote trip status if wired into a monitoring system.

What compliance documentation is available for 3VA2163-5KQ32-0AA0?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to meet IEC 60947-2. RoHS and REACH compliance declarations are standard from Siemens for this series. Specific UL listing should be verified against the nameplate marking.
