Product details

63 A MCCB with ETU350 — interrupting capacity for high-fault panels

The Siemens 3VA2163-8HN36-0AA0 is a SENTRON 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C, with no derating needed at elevated temperatures. The ETU350 electronic trip unit gives adjustable long-time (tr 0.5–17 s) and short-time delay (tsd up to 0.4 s) for selective coordination downstream.

Trip unit and coordination

The ETU350 electronic release provides LSI protection: long-time (tr), short-time (tsd with I²t on/off), and instantaneous. Adjustable tr from 0.5 to 17 seconds lets you ride through motor inrush without nuisance trips. Short-time delay adjustable up to 0.4 s enables zone-selective interlocking with downstream breakers. Power loss is 3.1 W maximum, negligible for panel thermal budgeting.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-8HN36-0AA0 and what is the lead time?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit the order code and quantity for a firm delivery commitment.

Will 3VA2163-8HN36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole 63 A SENTRON MCCBs in the same 3VA2 frame size (105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep), so the physical footprint and wiring space are identical. The difference is the trip unit: the -8HN36-0AA0 carries the ETU350 electronic release, while the -8HM32-0AA0 uses a different release variant. No rewiring needed for the same bus and lug arrangement, but verify the trip curve settings match your coordination study.

What is the interrupting capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

330 kA at 415 V, and the same 330 kA at 440 V. At 690 V it drops to 53 kA. The 440 kA rating at 240 V covers low-voltage high-fault applications like transformer secondaries.
