Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V, making it a fit for high-fault locations like transformer secondaries or large motor control centers where upstream breakers need full selectivity. Four poles with ETU340 electronic trip unit; N-conductor protection adjustable OFF or 100 %. The case measures 140 mm wide by 181 mm tall by 86 mm deep — a standard 3VA2 footprint that drops into existing SENTRON panel cutouts and busbar systems without re-drilling the mounting plate. ## Trip unit and protection features Power loss is 4 W maximum at rated current. Ambient operating range -25 °C to 70 °C; storage range -40 °C to 80 °C.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HK46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 4-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HK46-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 4-pole, ETU340 release, 187 kA at 240 V.
