Product details

Its interrupting capacity reaches 440 kA at 240 V AC, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V — covering most industrial fault-current scenarios without cascading upstream.

Thermal performance and ground-fault monitoring

Ground-fault monitoring uses summation current formation on the line conductor, which means it detects residual current by summing phase currents through a single core-balance transformer, simplifying wiring compared to separate CTs.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-8HM36-0AA0 and get a price?

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

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

At 240 V AC the interrupting capacity is 440 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it is 330 kA, at 500 V it is 220 kA, and at 690 V it is 52.5 kA.

Does this breaker include ground-fault monitoring?

Yes, it supports ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on the line conductor, detecting residual current without separate CTs.
