Product details

The SENTRON 3VA2163-7MS36-0AH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 63 A continuous at ambient temperatures from 40 °C up to 70 °C — no derating needed across that range. Its interrupting capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V AC and stays at 242 kA through 440 V, then drops to 187 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V. This is the starter protection variant (design of the product: starter protection), so it's tailored for motor branch circuits — the trip curve and magnetic pickup are set to handle inrush without nuisance trips while still clearing a bolted fault fast.

Mounting is screw-clamp to the backplate, not DIN rail — make sure your enclosure has the clearance for the 181 mm height above the bus bars.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2163-7MS36-0AH0 at 240 V?

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

What is the continuous current rating and does it derate with temperature?

Rated 63 A continuous from 40 °C through 70 °C — no derating needed across that entire ambient range.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-7MS36-0AH0?

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

Will 3VA2163-7MS36-0AH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2163-5HL32-0DB0?

Both share the same 3VA frame dimensions (86 mm depth, 105 mm width, 181 mm height) and 3-pole footprint, so the panel cutout and bus-bar spacing are identical — no rewiring needed for the physical fit. Verify the trip curve and auxiliary contact configuration against your BOM; the 5HL32 variant carries different internal accessories.
