Product details

Rated 63 A continuous across the full 40–70 °C ambient range, it holds its 63 A trip rating without derating in warm enclosures — a useful edge when the panel sits near a heat source or inside a non-climate-controlled cabinet. The interrupting capacity climbs to 242 kA at 240 V, drops to 187 kA at 415/440 V, and holds 121 kA at 500 V. At 690 V it still clears 3.7 kA — enough for most industrial line-side faults, but note the steep fall-off above 500 V if your system runs at 690 V.

The auxiliary switch pack (2 aux + 1 trip alarm HQ) is factory-integrated, so no extra wiring cavity needed for add-on modules.

Marked as current production — no LTB or phase-out notice on this variant.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6HL32-0AH0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through our independent distribution network. Submit a request for quote (RFQ) and we'll confirm availability and current pricing.

Will 3VA2163-6HL32-0AH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2163-5HL32-0DB0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 105 x 181 x 86 mm mounting footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. The 6HL32-0AH0 carries a 63 A continuous rating and 242 kA interrupting at 240 V; the 5HL32-0DB0 is a different trip-curve variant. Verify the trip characteristics match your protection study before swapping, but the panel cutout and bus connections are compatible.

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

187 kA at 415 V, same as at 440 V. At 500 V it drops to 121 kA, and at 690 V to 3.7 kA.
