The UVR drops the breaker if control voltage falls, standard for safety circuits on motor branch feeders. Pair it with a contactor for motor duty.
Dimensions: 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep. That 105 mm width is a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — fits the same panel cutout as other SENTRON 3VA frames in this current class. No surprises when swapping or laying out a new build. Operating range: -25 °C to 70 °C ambient; storage: -40 °C to 80 °C.
63 A continuous, with an adjustable thermal-magnetic trip unit covering 95 A to 756 A.
Yes, it ships with two HQ auxiliary switches and an integrated undervoltage release (UVR) — no separate modules needed.
