Product details

Breaking capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V AC and stays at 242 kA through 415–440 V, then drops to 187 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V.

Trip unit and adjustability

The ETU850 electronic trip unit offers adjustable overload pickup from 95 A up to 756 A — that's a wide range, so this breaker can be set to protect anything from a 100 A feeder to a 700 A main, despite the 63 A frame. The minimum setting of 95 A means you cannot set it below that, even if the connected load is smaller; the frame size is the floor. This version includes a communication function and an 'other measurement function' — the ETU850 can report load current and trip events over the communication bus, which is useful for energy monitoring or remote troubleshooting without climbing to the panel. No ground-fault monitoring is built in, and there is no undervoltage release or trip indicator on this variant. Max power loss is 4 W, which is low for a 63 A frame with an electronic trip unit — keeps heat out of the enclosure and simplifies thermal calculations in a packed panel.

Operating range of -25 °C to 70 °C suits most indoor industrial environments without special heating or cooling.

Frequently asked questions

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

Breaking capacity is 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 330 kA rating at 240 V is the standout figure for high-fault applications.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-7KP42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is listed here, but a quote request gets you the real-time numbers.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2163-7KP42-0AA0?

The closest peer in the same SENTRON 3VA2 frame is the 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0, which shares the 63 A frame and 4-pole configuration but carries a different trip unit variant. The 3VA2163-7KP42-0AA0 uses the ETU850 electronic trip with communication; the 8HM32 variant has a different trip curve and accessory set. They share the same mounting footprint and busbar connections, so a panel designed for one can accept the other without rewiring — but the protection settings and communication capability differ, so verify the trip unit matches the protection study before swapping.

Does this MCCB include ground-fault monitoring or an undervoltage release?

No. This variant is specified without ground-fault monitoring and without an undervoltage release. It also does not include a trip indicator. The communication function and other measurement functions are present on the ETU850 trip unit.
