Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-8JP32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full -40 °C to 70 °C operating range — no derating needed up to 70 °C ambient. It carries an ETU550 electronic trip unit with adjustable long-time (tr 0.5–25 s) and short-time (tsd max 0.5 s) delay settings, giving you curve-shaping flexibility for selective coordination downstream.

This MCCB delivers 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 53 kA at 690 V.

Communication function is built in, meaning it can talk to a higher-level system for metering or remote trip indication without an add-on module.

Endurance and power loss

Rated for 20,000 latching operations — that's mechanical endurance, not electrical at full load, but it tells you the mechanism is built for years of switching in a distribution panel. Maximum power loss is 3.1 W, which keeps the internal temperature rise low in a crowded enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-8JP32-0AA0?

Sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an inquiry for a firm offer.

What are the interrupting ratings for this MCCB?

440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 53 kA at 690 V.

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

63 A continuous from -40 °C up to 70 °C ambient — no derating required across the full operating range.

What trip unit does this breaker use?

It uses the ETU550 electronic release with adjustable long-time delay (0.5–25 s) and short-time delay (max 0.5 s).
