At 690 V the 17 kA rating still covers most industrial drives and motor control center feeds. It's a straightforward workhorse for panels where you need a hard-wired, no-frills overcurrent protective device. The 3VA1163-5EE32-0AE0 measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep. It mounts in a standard panel or enclosure footprint — the 76.2 mm width (three 25.4 mm pole spacings) means it fits the same cutouts as other 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs. The TM220 release is adjustable for the long-time response (tr max. 1 s), but there's no voltage trigger, undervoltage release, or phase-failure detection built in. If you need those, you add external modules or specify a different version.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1163-5EE32-0AE0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1163-5EE32-0AE0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 63 A rated current, 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V.
