The SENTRON 3VM1163-3ED22-0AA0 is a 2-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the 3VM series, designed for line protection in distribution panels. It carries a TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit rated at 63 A continuous current, with a fixed thermal element and magnetic instantaneous pickup set at 10× In (630 A). The 63 A rating is sustained up to 50 °C ambient; above that it derates linearly to 58 A at 70 °C, so in a warm enclosure you need to account for the thermal curve rather than the nameplate. Breaking capacity is 76 kA at 240 VAC and 53 kA at 415 VAC — these are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at those voltages without welding contacts or rupturing. For DC systems, the manual (3VA Molded Case Circuit Breaker Manual) provides the specific switching capacity values; the breaker is rated for 250 VDC operation. The 2-pole configuration (50.8 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep) fits standard DIN-rail or panel-mount layouts.
Integration and wiring considerations
If you need remote tripping or ground-fault indication, you are looking at a different variant in the 3VM family. Maximum power loss is 12 W at rated current. Operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C; storage from -40 °C to 80 °C.
