Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6JQ46-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current with no thermal derating across the full -25 °C to 70 °C operating range — meaning it holds its full 63 A rating even in a hot panel or near other heat sources, no need to oversize for ambient temperature.

The 3VA2163-6JQ46-0AA0 measures 86 mm deep by 140 mm wide by 181 mm tall — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size that drops into existing DIN-rail or mounting-plate layouts without re-drilling the sub-panel. At 4 W maximum power loss, heat dissipation inside the enclosure stays low; no forced ventilation required for a single unit in a typical IP54 steel cabinet.

Frequently asked questions

Does this breaker require derating at high ambient temperatures?

No derating needed — the 63 A continuous rating holds flat across the full -25 °C to 70 °C operating range.

What is the physical size of 3VA2163-6JQ46-0AA0?

86 mm deep, 140 mm wide, 181 mm high — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame that fits existing panel layouts.

Does this MCCB support communication and ground-fault monitoring?

Yes — it has an integrated communication function for remote status and trip reporting, and ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on the L + N conductors.
