Product details

It carries a continuous rated current of 63 A across an ambient temperature range from -25 °C to 70 °C without derating — every temperature point from 40 °C through 70 °C lists the same 63 A, so the thermal curve is flat across normal panel conditions. The ETU550 electronic trip unit handles the overcurrent release, giving adjustable pickup and time-delay settings that let you coordinate with downstream breakers instead of relying on fixed thermal-magnetic curves. The breaking capacity tells you where this breaker can sit in the fault-current hierarchy: 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.

The 140 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth are the same 4-pole 3VA2 envelope.

The 4-pole width of 140 mm is the same as other 3VA2 4-pole units, so if you are swapping out an older 3VA2 variant, the busbar and lug positions align without re-drilling the gland plate. Power loss is listed at a maximum of 4 W. That is low enough that derating for adjacent breakers in a multi-unit enclosure is minimal, but if you are packing six or more 63 A MCCBs in a single section, you still want to check the internal temperature rise against the 70 °C operating maximum. The ETU550 electronic trip draws its power from the current itself — no auxiliary supply needed for the trip unit, which simplifies wiring.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6JP46-0AA0 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.

What is 3VA2163-6JP46-0AA0's listed depth?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in).

What is 3VA2163-6JP46-0AA0's listed width?

The width is 140 mm (5.51 in).

Will 3VA2163-6JP46-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2163-5HL32-0DB0 without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole 3VA2 frame breakers with the same 140 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth, so the footprint and busbar positions are identical. The difference is the trip unit: this one uses an ETU550 electronic trip, while the 5HL32 variant uses a different release. The wiring terminals and lug kits are interchangeable, but the protection settings and coordination study may need to be re-evaluated because the trip curves differ.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2163-6JP46-0AA0?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, this MCCB carries the expected certifications for the class: UL 489, CSA C22.2 No. 5, and IEC 60947-2. RoHS and REACH declarations are available through the Siemens Industry Online Support portal.
