Product details

The Siemens 3VA2163-5MN32-0AE0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated 63 A continuous current at 40 °C, with a rated insulation voltage of 800 V. It's the motor protection variant, meaning the ETU350M electronic trip unit is programmed for the thermal and magnetic curves a motor load draws — not a straight feeder breaker.

Breaking capacity across voltages — where it holds and where it drops

At 415 V and 440 V it still delivers 121 kA; at 500 V it drops to 75.6 kA; at 690 V it's 17 kA. The 63 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 60.48 A at 55 °C and 56.7 A at 70 °C. Mount it in a warm corner of the panel and you lose headroom; keep the ambient below 50 °C to get the full 63 A.

What the ETU350M release and aux contacts buy you

Storage and operating temperature range

The storage limit is wider because the breaker isn't carrying current — that's the handling and warehousing spec, not the running limit.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get pricing and availability for 3VA2163-5MN32-0AE0?

Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time. Submit an RFQ through the storefront; the quote will reflect current market pricing and lead time through independent distribution channels.

What is the depth of 3VA2163-5MN32-0AE0?

The depth is 86 mm. That's the full dimension including the arc chamber and electronic trip unit — make sure your enclosure or deadfront has that clearance.

What is the width of 3VA2163-5MN32-0AE0?

The width is 105 mm, which is the standard 3-pole SENTRON MCCB footprint. It fits the same mounting hole pattern and DIN-rail slot as other 3VA frame breakers.

Will 3VA2163-5MN32-0AE0 drop into a panel specified around 5SQ2370-2YA05?

The 105 mm width and 181 mm height are in the same class as other 3-pole molded case breakers, but the 5SQ2370-2YA05 is a different manufacturer's product line. The mounting pattern, bus connection spacing, and accessory compatibility are not guaranteed to match. Verify the panel cutout dimensions and bus bar spacing against the 3VA2163-5MN32-0AE0's dimensions before ordering.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2163-5MN32-0AE0?

Siemens SENTRON breakers typically carry UL, CSA, and IEC certifications, and are manufactured under RoHS and REACH compliance. Specific declaration documents are available through the Siemens Industry Online Support portal or from the distributor upon request.
