Product details

63 A MCCB with high interrupting capacity for line protection

Interrupting performance across voltage levels

This breaker's interrupting capacity is rated at 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 sharp drop at 690 V tells you this unit is optimized for 240–500 V distribution — at 690 V the fault current capability is much lower, so verify your available fault current if the service voltage is at the high end.

Thermal performance and ambient derating

That simplifies panel design: you don't have to oversize for a hot enclosure.

Ground-fault monitoring and communication

Maximum power loss is 4 W, manageable for dense panel layouts.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6JQ36-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability.

What are the key ratings of 3VA2163-6JQ36-0AA0?

It is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 63 A continuous, with interrupting capacity of 242 kA at 240 V and 187 kA at 415 V. Insulation voltage is 800 V.

What is the difference between 3VA2163-6JQ36-0AA0 and 3VA2063-8JQ32-0AA0?

The 3VA2063-8JQ32-0AA0 is a different variant within the same SENTRON 3VA family. The 3VA2163-6JQ36-0AA0 includes ground-fault monitoring and communication function, which the 3VA2063-8JQ32-0AA0 may not. Panel footprint (86 mm depth, 105 mm width, 181 mm height) is identical, so it drops into the same mounting arrangement without rewiring.
