Product details

That 63 A holds flat through 50 °C — you only start seeing a derate at 55 °C (60.6 A) and down to 53.6 A at 70 °C, so it's comfortable in a warm panel without oversized cabling. The breaking capacity is the headline figure here: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V. The 5 kA at 690 V tells you this isn't a 690 V main breaker; it's sized for 400–500 V distribution. The undervoltage release (UVR) is integrated, so if you need a shunt trip you'd spec a different suffix.

The 86 mm depth means it clears a 100 mm backpanel enclosure without interference. The 6.5 W maximum power loss is modest; you won't need forced ventilation for a single unit, but cluster several in a sealed box and factor the heat into the thermal budget. The 20 000-cycle mechanical endurance is typical for an MCCB in distribution duty — not a switch-disconnector cycled daily, but fine for a breaker that operates a few times a year plus the occasional fault interruption.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3VA2163-6HL32-0CL0's breaking capacity at 415 V?

187 kA at 415 V, same as at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 242 kA, and at 500 V it's 121 kA.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

The ETU320 electronic trip unit — no communication, no ground-fault monitoring, no phase-failure detection on this variant.

What auxiliary contacts come with 3VA2163-6HL32-0CL0?

Two auxiliary switches, one trip alarm switch, and one electrical alarm switch (HQ type) — four signal paths total.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6HL32-0CL0 and how is it quoted?
