Product details

Its continuous current rating holds at 63 A across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed as the panel warms up, which simplifies panel layout for high-density enclosures. The interrupting ratings are the headline: 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V. At 690 V, that 52.5 kA SCCR means it can clear a bolted fault at the full line voltage without cascading upstream — critical for high-fault installations like transformer secondaries or large motor control centers.

The 86 mm depth and 105 mm width fit the standard 3VA fixed-format footprint. If you are replacing an older 3WL or 3VL frame, check the mounting hole pattern — the 3VA uses a different base plate. Panel cutout dimensions are consistent across the 3VA family for the same frame size.

Integration and wiring

Power loss is 3.1 W maximum, which keeps internal cabinet temperature rise low even in dense panels. The 800 V rated insulation voltage (Ui) covers 480/277 V and 600 V systems with margin for surge coordination.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-8JP36-0AA0?

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

What is the interrupting rating at 415 V?

330 kA at 415 V, which covers most industrial low-voltage distribution fault levels.

Does this breaker have communication capability?

Yes, the ETU550 trip unit supports communication functions for remote monitoring and integration into energy management systems.
