That 187 kA at 240 V is the figure that governs high-fault installations like large transformer secondaries or utility entrance panels; the 690 V rating tells you this is not a 690 V main — it's a 480 V class breaker with a residual 690 V rating for lightly faulted circuits. ## Selectivity and coordination The trip indicator gives a visible flag after a fault event, which speeds troubleshooting on a panel with multiple breakers. The undervoltage release (UVR) drops the breaker when control voltage falls below a threshold; this is typical for emergency-stop chains or undervoltage protection schemes where you want the breaker to open on loss of control power, not just on overcurrent. ## Panel integration Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for a 63 A frame. The 105 mm width fits a 4-inch (101.6 mm) DIN-rail or panel-mount pattern with minimal overhang. Maximum power loss is 6.5 W, which is modest for this class; no forced cooling needed in a ventilated enclosure. ## Auxiliary and alarm contacts That gives you four discrete signals: two for position feedback (open/closed), one for a trip event, and one for an electrical alarm condition. The auxiliary release is an undervoltage release (UVR) — no shunt trip, no ground-fault module. If you need shunt trip or ground-fault monitoring, you are looking at a different order-code suffix.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 187 kA at 240 V. 3-pole, line protection, undervoltage release.

The 5SQ2370-2YA05 is the closest functional match — same 63 A class, 3-pole, line-protection MCCB — but verify the auxiliary contact configuration and undervoltage release fit before substituting. The 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 includes an undervoltage release and four auxiliary/alarm switches; the 5SQ2370-2YA05 may have a different contact complement."},{"question":"What is the depth of 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0?","answer":"Depth is 86 mm (3.39 in)."},{"question":"What is the width of 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0?","answer":"Width is 105 mm (4.13 in)."},{"question":"Will 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 drop into a panel specified around 5SQ2370-2YA05 without rewiring?","answer":"The 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 is a 3-pole MCCB in the same 63 A frame class as the 5SQ2370-2YA05, so the power connections (line/load lugs) will fit the same bus bars. However, the auxiliary contact arrangement differs — the 3VA2163-5HL32-0BL0 has 2 auxiliary switches + 1 trip alarm + 1 electrical alarm, while the 5SQ2370-2YA05 may have a different count.
