Product details

MCCB for line protection — 63 A, 4-pole, 440 kA interrupting capacity

The interrupting capacity climbs to 440 kA at 240 V, dropping to 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V — a curve that tells you this breaker is built for high-fault locations like transformer secondaries or main feeders where available fault current is substantial. The 3.1 W maximum power loss is modest for a 63 A frame; panel ventilation requirements stay minimal.

Ground-fault and communication provisions

This variant includes ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on L + N conductors — it sums the phase and neutral currents to detect leakage. A communication function is built in, which means it can interface with a higher-level monitoring system for remote trip indication or load management. No undervoltage release or voltage trip is fitted; this is a straight overcurrent + ground-fault device.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2163-8JQ46-0AA0 and get current pricing?

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

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?

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.

Does this breaker include ground-fault protection?

Yes, it includes ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on L + N conductors.

What is the depth of 3VA2163-8JQ46-0AA0?

86 mm — the dimension to check against enclosure door clearance or busbar shroud depth.
