It is configured for starter protection with a TM120M thermal-magnetic release — meaning the thermal element is sized for motor-starting inrush and the magnetic short-circuit pickup is adjustable from 5 to 15 times In. This breaker does not include overload protection (the TM120M provides only short-circuit protection), so it pairs with a separate overload relay in a motor starter assembly. Clamp-type terminals accept copper conductors without lugging — strip length and torque follow the Siemens 3VA1 mounting instructions. The breaker snaps onto DIN rail (EN 60715) and occupies a 3-pole width in the panel. The UVR coil draws continuously when energized; verify the control transformer is sized for the holding current plus any other loads on the same 120 V AC circuit.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1163-6MH36-0CA0 Circuit Breaker, 70kA @ 415V, 63A","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1163-6MH36-0CA0 IEC frame 160 circuit breaker, 70kA breaking capacity at 415V, 63A, starter protection TM120M, undervoltage release.

This means it can safely interrupt fault currents up to 70,000 A at that voltage without external fusing."},{"question":"Does this breaker include overload protection?","answer":"No. The TM120M release provides only short-circuit protection with adjustable magnetic pickup (Ii = 5–15 × In). A separate overload relay is required for motor overload protection in a starter configuration."},{"question":"What voltage does the undervoltage release require?","answer":"The UVR operates on 120–127 V AC, 50/60 Hz. If control voltage drops below the dropout threshold, the breaker trips immediately."},{"question":"Where can I buy 3VA1163-6MH36-0CA0 and get current pricing?","answer":"This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through our independent distribution channels.
