Product details

The Siemens 3VA2163-8HL46-0AA0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current, with four poles and an ETU320 electronic trip unit. It is designed for line protection in distribution panels, sized to fit a 140 mm wide by 181 mm tall by 86 mm deep footprint.

This MCCB delivers a rated breaking capacity of 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 440 kA at 240 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V.

Trip unit and thermal performance

The breaker's continuous current rating holds at 63 A across the full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed within that band.

Physical integration

The breaker occupies a 140 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth. Front face protection is IP40. No undervoltage release, no communication function, and no ground-fault monitoring version are fitted on this variant.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-8HL46-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

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

What are the key ratings of 3VA2163-8HL46-0AA0?

63 A continuous current, 4-pole, ETU320 electronic trip unit, breaking capacity of 330 kA at 415 V, rated insulation voltage 800 V.

What is the physical size of 3VA2163-8HL46-0AA0?

Width 140 mm, height 181 mm, depth 86 mm. Front protection class IP40.

Will 3VA2163-8HL46-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 3VA2 breakers in the same frame size, so the physical footprint and mounting pattern are shared. The difference is the trip unit: the -8HL46-0AA0 carries an ETU320 electronic trip, while the -8HM32-0AA0 uses a different trip curve. Verify the trip settings match your coordination study before swapping.
