Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN32-0AF0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current across the full 40 °C to 70 °C ambient range — no derating needed up to 70 °C. That makes it a straight drop-in for panels running warm, without recalculating thermal headroom. Breaking capacity is the headline: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. For a 63 A frame, those numbers mean you can place this breaker at the main distribution point with high fault current without worrying about cascading — it clears a 242 kA fault at 240 V without upstream help.

Built-in auxiliary switching

That gives you both a remote status contact and a separate alarm on trip — useful for feeding a PLC input or a panel light without an extra interposing relay.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6HN32-0AF0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA2163-6HN32-0AF0's listed depth?

Depth is 86 mm (3.39 in). Width is 105 mm (4.13 in), height 181 mm (7.13 in).

Will 3VA2163-6HN32-0AF0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same frame family, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar pitch are shared. The 3VA2163-6HN32-0AF0 carries higher breaking capacity (242 kA at 240 V vs. the 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0's rating) and includes the HQ auxiliary switch configuration — verify the auxiliary wiring assignment against your existing panel schematic before dropping it in.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2163-6HN32-0AF0?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, it ships with CE marking and is designed to meet IEC/EN 60947-2. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request.
