Product details

Siemens 3VA2163-8HN46-0AA0 — 4-pole MCCB with ETU350, 63 A, 440 kA

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-8HN46-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection, carrying a continuous current Iu of 63 A across its full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. The electronic trip unit is an ETU350, giving you adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous protection curves without swapping trip packs. This is a current-production part, not a phase-out line.

At 240 V the 440 kA rating is effectively unlimited for most downstream gear — you can coordinate this breaker with branch MCCBs or MCBs without worrying about cascading failure. At 415 V the 330 kA still covers the highest fault levels found in industrial switchboards. The ETU350's adjustable I²t on short-time delay lets you set intentional delay for full selectivity with downstream breakers, which is the main reason you spec an electronic trip over a thermal-magnetic on a main or feeder.

That 86 mm depth is the key dimension for enclosure selection — it fits standard 200 mm deep distribution boards with room for rear cabling. The 4-pole format with adjustable N-conductor protection (OFF or 100%) lets you configure it for 3-phase + neutral or 3-phase without neutral monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3VA2163-8HN46-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 3VA2 breakers with the same 140 mm width and 181 mm height, so the mounting footprint and busbar centers are identical. The depth is the same at 86 mm. The difference is the trip unit — the 8HN46 carries an ETU350 electronic trip, while the 8HM32 uses a thermal-magnetic trip. No rewiring needed for the swap, but verify the trip curve matches your coordination study.
