Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VM1163-4EE42-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection, carrying a continuous current of 63 A at 40 °C through 50 °C, with a slight thermal derating above that — 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C. The interrupting capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V AC, 76 kA at 415 V, 53 kA at 440 V, and 12 kA at 500 V — numbers that matter for high-fault service entrances or large motor branch circuits where the available fault current is substantial. The TM220 thermal-magnetic release gives you an adjustable long-time pickup up to 630 A, so this breaker can be tuned to the load without swapping out the whole unit.

IP40 on the front keeps finger-sized objects out but isn't sealed against washdown — it's fine inside a dry enclosure, not out in the weather.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VM1163-4EE42-0AA0?

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

What is the breaking capacity of this breaker at 240 V?

The interrupting capacity is 121 kA at 240 V AC, which covers high-fault service entrances and large motor branch circuits.

Will 3VM1163-4EE42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1010-2ED32-0AD0 without rewiring?

The 3VM1163-4EE42-0AA0 is a 4-pole MCCB with a 63 A frame and TM220 release, while the 3VA1010-2ED32-0AD0 is a different frame size and release type. Panel fit depends on the specific mounting footprint and bus arrangement — verify the physical dimensions and terminal spacing before assuming a direct drop-in.
