Product details

The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. This MCCB includes phase failure detection and a trip indicator, so when a motor phase drops, it opens the circuit and shows you why at a glance. It's built with 2 auxiliary switches plus a trip alarm switch HP — handy for remote status monitoring in a control system.

The 3VA2163-5MN36-0AJ0 measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard MCCB footprint for a 3-pole 63 A unit. It's designed for DIN-rail mounting in an enclosure, so it clips onto the rail and connects via busbars or cable lugs. The depth of 86 mm (3.39 in) means it fits in a standard 200 mm deep panel with room for wiring behind it. The width of 105 mm (4.13 in) is the per-pole pitch you'd expect for a 63 A frame — plan your DIN-rail layout accordingly.

The 63 A rating holds steady all the way to 70 °C ambient — that's the thermal derating curve flatlined. In a real panel at 50 °C or 60 °C, you still get the full 63 A, which is unusual for breakers that start dropping current above 40 °C. The trip indicator and phase failure detection are practical for maintenance: when the breaker trips, you see it immediately, and if a phase drops on the motor feeder, it opens the circuit before single-phasing damages the motor. The auxiliary switch complement (2 aux + 1 trip alarm) lets you wire the breaker's status into a PLC or annunciator panel without adding external relays.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5MN36-0AJ0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the closest functional second-source for 3VA2163-5MN36-0AJ0?

The 5SQ2370-2YA05 series is a functional peer in the same class, but the 3VA2163-5MN36-0AJ0 is a SENTRON MCCB with a specific 63 A rating and 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V. The 5SQ2370 parts may have different trip curves or auxiliary configurations — verify the fit against your BOM before substituting.

What is 3VA2163-5MN36-0AJ0's listed depth?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in), which fits standard 200 mm deep enclosures with wiring clearance behind the breaker.

What is 3VA2163-5MN36-0AJ0's listed width?

The width is 105 mm (4.13 in), standard for a 3-pole 63 A MCCB frame. Plan for that per-pole spacing on the DIN rail.

Will 3VA2163-5MN36-0AJ0 drop into a panel specified around 5SQ2370-2YA05?

Both are 3-pole MCCBs in a similar physical class, but the 3VA2163-5MN36-0AJ0 has different interrupting ratings and auxiliary switch configuration. The footprint (105 mm wide, 86 mm deep) may match, but verify the busbar spacing and wiring layout before assuming a drop-in replacement.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2163-5MN36-0AJ0?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries standard industrial compliance (UL, IEC, CE, RoHS, REACH). Specific documentation such as the declaration of conformity or material declaration is available from Siemens or your distributor upon request.
