Product details

4-pole MCCB with TM220 trip — 63 A frame, 76 kA SCCR

The TM220 designation means the thermal element tracks the load current for overload protection, while the magnetic element reacts instantaneously to short-circuit currents — no electronic adjustment, just reliable bimetal and solenoid action. At 40 °C the continuous current rating is 63 A, and it holds that rating through 50 °C before the thermal derating curve begins to bite: 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C. Breaking capacity climbs as the system voltage drops: 76 kA at 240 V AC, 53 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 12 kA at 500 V. For a 480 V distribution panel, the 32 kA SCCR at 440 V is the nearest published point — expect the actual 480 V rating to sit between the 440 V and 500 V figures. The 4-pole construction (100% N-conductor protection) makes this breaker suitable for three-phase-plus-neutral systems where the neutral is fully rated, not just switched.

Footprint is 101.6 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep — a standard MCCB cutout that drops into most SENTRON or 3VA-series panelboards without re-drilling the mounting plate.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VM1163-3GE42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VM1163-3GE42-0AA0?

The 3VA1110-5ED32-0AA0 is a similar 4-pole SENTRON MCCB but with a different trip unit and frame rating — verify the interrupting capacity and thermal curve against your specific load before substituting. The 3VM1163-3GE42-0AA0 is a direct fit for panels already spec'd around the 3VM series footprint.

What are the key ratings of 3VM1163-3GE42-0AA0?

4 poles, 63 A continuous at 40 °C (derated to 58 A at 70 °C), TM220 thermal-magnetic release, 76 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC, 53 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 12 kA at 500 V. Dimensions are 101.6 mm wide × 130 mm tall × 70 mm deep.

What compliance documentation is available for 3VM1163-3GE42-0AA0?

As a Siemens SENTRON series MCCB, the 3VM1163-3GE42-0AA0 is designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 standards. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard for the series — request specific compliance certificates with your RFQ.
