Breaking Capacity and Thermal Derating
The 3VA2463-5HN32-0AB0 delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 9 kA at 690 V — the 415 V figure is the one most panel builders will size against for 400 V class distribution. Continuous current derates from 630 A at 40 °C down to 520 A at 70 °C; the full curve is available for enclosure sizing. Maximum power loss is 162 W, which drives ventilation requirements in sealed cabinets.
Physical Fit and Auxiliary Configuration
Dimensions are 248 mm high, 138 mm wide, and 110 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that drops into most SENTRON mounting bases without panel rework. The breaker ships with 2 auxiliary switches (HP type) pre-installed; no undervoltage release, ground-fault monitoring, or communication function is included. The supplied basic switch is order code 3VA2463-5HN32-0AA0, so if you're replacing that base unit, this is the drop-in upgrade with auxiliaries.
