Product details

63 A MCCB with 330 kA interrupting rating

The Siemens 3VA2163-8JP42-0AA0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to the 70 °C operating maximum. Breaking capacity hits 330 kA at 415 V (440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, 52.5 kA at 690 V), which puts this squarely in the high-fault-current class — sized for large transformer secondaries or industrial mains with stiff utility feeds where standard 50 kA or 65 kA MCCBs would weld closed on a bolted fault.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 3VA2163-8JP42-0AA0 have a communication function?

Yes, it has a communication function, enabling remote monitoring and parameter access via the ETU550 trip unit.
