The starter protection version tailors the trip curve to motor inrush, so it coordinates with a contactor and overload relay rather than nuisance-tripping on start. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the breaker is rated for 75.6 kA at 440 V, 7.5 kA at 500 V and 690 V. The TM120M release provides fixed thermal and magnetic settings — no field-adjustable trip unit — which simplifies specification and reduces the chance of mis-coordination. Front IP40 protection is adequate for clean panel environments. ## Integration and fit The 3-pole footprint matches the 3VA1112-5MH32-0AA0 and other SENTRON 3VA breakers of the same frame size, so a panel designed around that sibling accepts this unit without rewiring — the bus connections, lug centers, and mounting holes are identical.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1163-5MH36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1163-5MH36-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
