Product details

It carries a 330 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC, which drops to 242 kA at 415 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V. That's a serious short-circuit rating for a 63 A frame; it can clear a high-fault bolted arc upstream without self-destructing, which matters when you're feeding a panel downstream of a big transformer.

That's uncommon; most MCCBs start dropping current above 40 °C. If your panel runs hot near a drive bank or a furnace wall, this one keeps delivering full rated amps.

The 86 mm depth (3.39 in) means it clears shallow gland plates and back-panel wiring troughs without sticking out.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?

At 240 V it interrupts 330 kA, at 415 V and 440 V it interrupts 242 kA, at 500 V it interrupts 187 kA, and at 690 V it interrupts 3.7 kA.

Will 3VA2163-7HN32-0HC0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2163-5HL32-0JB0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA frame breakers with the same 105 mm width and 181 mm height, so the footprint and mounting hole pattern are identical. The 86 mm depth also matches. The difference is in the internal trip unit and accessory configuration — verify the shunt trip wiring and auxiliary switch count match your panel schematic before swapping.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-7HN32-0HC0 and what is the lead time?
