Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6KQ36-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to 70 °C, which simplifies panel sizing in warm enclosures. Breaking capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V and 187 kA at 415/440 V, dropping to 121 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V — that 242 kA figure at 240 V covers high-fault utility feeds and transformer secondaries where fault current can exceed 200 kA.

Maximum power loss is 4 W, which keeps heat dissipation low in a sealed enclosure. Communication function is built in — this variant includes a communication interface for remote monitoring or trip-event reporting, though the specific protocol is not detailed in this listing.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6KQ36-0AA0 and what is the lead time?

The part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2163-6KQ36-0AA0 at 415 V?

187 kA at 415 V, which also applies at 440 V. At 240 V it is 242 kA, at 500 V it drops to 121 kA, and at 690 V it is 3.7 kA.

What is the rated current of 3VA2163-6KQ36-0AA0?

63 A continuous, and it holds that rating from 40 °C through 70 °C — no derating needed in that range.
