Product details

What this MCCB is and what it does

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5MN32-0KH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. Designed specifically for motor protection, it includes phase failure detection and a shunt trip release (STL) for remote tripping. The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — figures that govern selectivity coordination in high-fault panels.

Mounting and integration

The breaker occupies 105 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame that fits DIN-rail or screw-mount panel layouts. The auxiliary switch block (2 auxiliary switches + 1 trip alarm switch HQ) and the shunt trip release are factory-integrated; no field-assembly of internal accessories is required. The basic switch part number is 3VA21635MN320AA0.
