Product details

The 630 A frame carries a magnetic trip range from 945 A to 5 670 A — meaning the instantaneous trip threshold is adjustable within that band, so you set it to ride through motor inrush or transformer energization without nuisance tripping. Breaking capacity runs 121 kA at 240 V AC, 75.6 kA at 415/440 V, 52.5 kA at 500 V, and 9 kA at 690 V; that covers most low-voltage distribution bus faults without cascading upstream.

The 630 A rating holds only at 40 °C ambient. Above that, derate linearly: 600 A at 45 °C, 570 A at 50 °C, 540 A at 55 °C, 510 A at 60 °C, 480 A at 65 °C, and 450 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 162 W, so factor that into the enclosure thermal budget.

Ground-fault monitoring and communication

This MCCB includes ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on L + N conductors — it measures the vector sum of line and neutral currents to detect leakage to earth. Communication function is onboard, so it can report status and trip events to a higher-level control system without an add-on module. No undervoltage release or voltage trip fitted on this variant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the continuous current rating of 3VA2463-4JQ42-0AA0 at 40 °C?

630 A at 40 °C ambient, derating to 450 A at 70 °C per the thermal curve.

What breaking capacity does this MCCB provide at 240 V and 415 V?

121 kA at 240 V AC and 75.6 kA at 415 V AC, covering most low-voltage distribution fault levels without needing an upstream current-limiting device.

Where can I buy 3VA2463-4JQ42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced through independent distribution channels and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no minimum volume is required to request a quote.

Will 3VA2463-4JQ42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AK0 without rewiring?

Not directly — the 3VA2463-4JQ42-0AA0 is a 630 A, 4-pole frame with different dimensions (248×184×110 mm) and a higher continuous rating than the 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AK0. Bus bar spacing, lug sizes, and cutout dimensions differ; verify the panel layout before substituting.
