Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HL32-0AF0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current and a breaking capacity of 242 kA at 240 V. It's designed for line protection — think main feeder or large branch circuit where you need high fault interruption without upstream coordination headaches.

That means you can mount it in a crowded enclosure without losing capacity. The 242 kA SCCR at 240 V is the maximum interrupting rating; at 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA, so verify your available fault current at the installation voltage. The 3-pole design with an integral auxiliary switch (1 aux + 1 trip alarm) gives you remote status without an add-on module.

Panel integration & dimensions

The supplied basic switch is 3VA21636HL320AA0, and the auxiliary switch configuration is 1 auxiliary + 1 trip alarm (HQ design).

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2163-6HL32-0AF0 at different voltages?

Breaking capacity is 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 242 kA at 240 V is the highest rating; at 690 V the capacity drops significantly, so verify your available fault current.

Who supplies 3VA2163-6HL32-0AF0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced through independent distribution channels. For volume purchases or BOM-freeze orders, we provide firm pricing and lead time on request against an RFQ.

Does 3VA2163-6HL32-0AF0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same frame family, so the footprint (105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep) is identical. However, the trip rating and accessory configuration differ — verify the continuous current rating and auxiliary switch wiring before swapping.
