The 3-pole unit delivers 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V, which covers most industrial service-entrance and distribution applications where fault currents run high. ## Interrupting ratings across voltage levels Interrupting capacity drops from 187 kA at 240 V to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then to 75.6 kA at 500 V, and finally to 3.7 kA at 690 V. The steep decline above 500 V means this breaker is sized for 240–480 V systems where high fault current is expected; at 690 V it handles only modest fault levels. ## Built-in auxiliary switch configuration The basic switch assembly carries order code 3VA21635HL320AA0. No separate voltage trigger or communication function is present — status signalling is limited to the auxiliary contacts and the trip indicator. ## Mounting dimensions for panel integration The 86 mm depth (3.39 in) fits standard MCCB mounting footprints in distribution panels. Width of 105 mm (4.13 in) is consistent with 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 breakers; check the backplate cutout and busbar spacing against the existing panel layout.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL32-0AH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL32-0AH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V.
