Product details

That phase-failure logic is the difference between a motor that coasts to a stop on a lost leg and one that cooks the winding while still spinning.

Rated 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — those are the maximum fault currents this MCCB can safely interrupt at each voltage level. On a 480 V panel with a 65 kA available fault current, this breaker has headroom to spare; at 690 V you need to confirm the 17 kA rating covers your installation's prospective short-circuit current.

Above that it starts to taper: 60.48 A at 55 °C, 59.22 A at 60 °C, 57.96 A at 65 °C, and 56.7 A at 70 °C.

Max power loss is 75 W, so account for that heat in your enclosure thermal calculation.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5MN32-0AF0 and how do I get a price?

This MCCB is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA2163-5MN32-0AF0's listed depth (86 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 86 mm, with a width of 105 mm and height of 181 mm.

Will 3VA2163-5MN32-0AF0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2163-5HL32-0DB0 without rewiring?

Both breakers share the same SENTRON 3VA2 frame dimensions (181 x 105 x 86 mm), so the physical footprint and mounting pattern are identical. The wiring terminals and pole spacing are the same — no panel rework needed for fit. The difference is in the trip unit logic, so verify the protection settings match the motor's starting profile.
