At 500 V the rating drops to 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it falls to 3.7 kA — that last figure means it is not the right choice for 690 V motor circuits with high available fault current; you would step up to a higher-rated frame. The 63 A continuous rating is thermally independent of the interrupting rating, so you get full short-circuit protection at the rated current. ## Built-in undervoltage release and trip characteristics That is useful for preventing automatic restart after a brownout or for coordinated load shedding. The breaker does not carry a voltage-trip module or ground-fault monitoring, and it has no communication function; it is a straightforward thermal-magnetic line-protection device. Power loss is rated at 6.5 W maximum, which matters for enclosure heat rise calculations in a densely packed panel. The 86 mm depth includes the handle and terminal protrusion, so verify clearance against the enclosure door or deadfront.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL32-0BA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63A, 3-Pole, 187kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HL32-0BA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63A continuous, 3-pole, 187kA breaking at 240V.
