Product details

What this MCCB does on the line

Rated 63 A continuously across the full ambient range from 40 °C up to 70 °C (no derate needed), it handles the sustained current draw of a motor circuit without nuisance tripping on warm days. The 3-pole construction matches three-phase motor feeds, and the 121 kA breaking capacity at 415 V gives real fault-clearing headroom for industrial distribution where upstream transformers can deliver serious short-circuit current.

The interrupting ratings tell you where this MCCB can sit in a distribution hierarchy. At 240 V it clears 187 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it holds 121 kA; at 500 V it drops to 75.6 kA; at 690 V it is down to 3.7 kA. That steep fall-off above 500 V is typical for a 63 A frame — the arc energy at 690 V exceeds what the compact arc chute can extinguish at high current. At 690 V, the 3.7 kA limit restricts it to low-fault-capacity sub-circuits or requires a series-rated combination.

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or screw-mount installation in a distribution board or motor control center. Operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C; storage from -40 °C to 80 °C covers most unheated warehouse conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-5MQ32-0AH0?

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

What is the breaking capacity of this breaker at 415 V?

At 415 V, the 3VA2163-5MQ32-0AH0 interrupts 121 kA — sufficient for installation close to a large step-down transformer in a 400 V industrial distribution system.

Does this breaker include phase-failure detection?

Yes, phase failure detection is built in, along with a communication function and a trip indicator. The auxiliary switch configuration provides two auxiliary switches plus one trip alarm switch for remote status monitoring.
