Product details

Its interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V — so at typical 400 V distribution voltages it clears 187 kA faults without cascading upstream. The auxiliary release is a shunt trip (STL) only, and the auxiliary contact package is two HQ-form switches. If your BOM needs undervoltage release or ground-fault alarm, this variant won't carry it without adding external modules.

Thermal derating — where the 63 A holds and where it tapers

At 55 °C it derates to 60.6375 A, at 60 °C to 58.275 A, at 65 °C to 55.9125 A, and at 70 °C to 53.55 A. In a sealed panel with internal temperature rise, expect to size the breaker for the actual ambient at the mounting location — the 63 A nameplate holds only up to 50 °C.

Physical fit — panel footprint

The 86 mm depth includes the shunt trip housing — verify clearance to the gland plate or door if the panel is shallow.

Frequently asked questions

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

187 kA at 415 V, which is the same rating it carries at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 242 kA, at 500 V it drops to 121 kA, and at 690 V it is rated 5 kA.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release or ground-fault monitoring?

No. This is a line-protection variant with a shunt trip (STL) as the only auxiliary release. There is no undervoltage release, no ground-fault monitoring, and no communication function built in.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6HL32-0KC0 and what is the lead time?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time figure is published here.
