Product details

It carries a 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V — the interrupting capability scales with system voltage, so match the rating to your fault-current study at the point of installation.

The 63 A rating holds flat through 50 °C ambient; above that it derates in steps — 60.6375 A at 55 °C, 58.275 A at 60 °C, 55.9125 A at 65 °C, and 53.55 A at 70 °C. If your panel runs hot, size the load side accordingly. Maximum power loss is 6.5 W, manageable in a ventilated enclosure.

Trip unit and auxiliary configuration

A mechanical trip indicator is present for visual fault status.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6HL32-0BL0 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit the order code and quantity for a firm commitment.

What are the key ratings for 3VA2163-6HL32-0BL0?

Rated continuous current Iu is 63 A, rated insulation voltage Ui is 800 V. Breaking capacity reaches 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V. The ETU320 electronic trip unit handles line protection with adjustable settings.

Will 3VA2163-6HL32-0BL0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

Both are SENTRON 3VA frame-size MCCBs with the same 105 mm width and 181 mm height, so the panel cutout and mounting footprint are identical. The difference is in the trip unit and ratings — the 3VA2163 carries an ETU320 electronic release and higher breaking capacities, while the 3VA1112 uses a different trip system. Verify the trip curve and interrupting rating match your fault study before substituting.
