Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN32-0CL0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full -25 °C to 70 °C operating range — no derating needed up to the top of the enclosure temperature spec. Breaking capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415/440 V, and 121 kA at 500 V, then drops to 3.7 kA at 690 V.

That's unusual for a compact MCCB; most competitors start knocking current back above 50 °C. The integrated undervoltage release (UVR) and the auxiliary switch complement — 2 aux + 1 trip alarm + 1 electrical alarm — mean you don't need to add separate accessory blocks for status feedback or safety dropouts. It's designed for line protection, not motor protection: no adjustable thermal-magnetic trip, no ground-fault module. If you need motor-circuit protection, look at the 3VA2 motor-protective variant instead.

Spring-cage terminals on the line and load side accept 35 mm² Cu cable. The UVR coil draws power from the line side; no separate control supply needed. The auxiliary switch wiring exits on the left side — keep that clear when planning wireway fill.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6HN32-0CL0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm quote.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2163-6HN32-0CL0 at 240 V?

242 kA at 240 V, which covers high-fault service entrances and transformer secondaries without cascading upstream breakers.

Will 3VA2163-6HN32-0CL0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 105 mm width and 181 mm height, so the panel cutout and DIN rail footprint are identical. The 3VA2163-6HN32-0CL0 carries a 63 A frame vs the 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0's lower rating, and the auxiliary switch config differs — verify the terminal assignments before swapping, but the mechanical fit is the same.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2163-6HN32-0CL0?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to IEC 60947-2. UL/CSA listings are available on the specific variant; confirm with the order code suffix. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from Siemens.
