At 240 V it breaks 75.6 kA; at 415 V, 52.5 kA; at 690 V, 11.9 kA. Thermal derating is flat from 40 °C to 50 °C at 63 A, then drops to 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C. Plan the load accordingly. Storage minimum of -40 °C handles winter transport without brittle fracture risk. Three-pole design, 76.2 mm wide (3 inches), 130 mm tall (5.12 inches), 70 mm deep (2.76 inches). That width is a standard 3-module DIN-rail footprint — drops into a panel that was laid out for a 3-pole MCCB without re-drilling the gland plate. If the BOM calls for shunt trip or aux contacts, those are external add-ons, not internal.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1163-3EF36-0AA0 MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, TM240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1163-3EF36-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, TM240 release, 75.6 kA at 240 V.
