Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7HK36-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current, fitted with an ETU340 electronic overcurrent release. At 690 V it still clears 53 kA, so it handles the low-side of a 690 V distribution transformer without needing a current-limiting fuse upstream.

Rated continuous current Iu holds flat at 63 A from 40 °C all the way to 70 °C — no derating curve to chase in a hot panel. The ETU340 release is adjustable for long-time delay (tr) at a fixed 1300 ms, which is a narrow window for coordination; verify it plays with your downstream breaker curves before committing the BOM line. Power loss maxes at 4 W — negligible for panel thermal budgeting but confirms the contact resistance is tight.

Where it lives in the panel

The 3VA2 frame is a standard Siemens SENTRON MCCB footprint: 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep. Optional motor drive can be added for remote trip/reset; the base unit ships without it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 240 V?

It clears 330 kA at 240 V, dropping to 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 53 kA at 690 V.

What trip unit does the 3VA2163-7HK36-0AA0 use?

It uses the ETU340 electronic overcurrent release with a fixed long-time delay of 1300 ms.

Will 3VA2163-7HK36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame MCCBs with the same physical dimensions — 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — so the footprint and mounting are identical. The difference is in the trip unit and accessories; verify the ETU340 release matches your coordination study before swapping.
