The steep drop at 690 V (3.7 kA) means this frame is not intended for 690 V high-fault installations — if your system runs 690 V with available fault current above a few kA, step up to a higher-rated SENTRON frame. ## Auxiliary Switching and Undervoltage Release The basic switch assembly carries order code 3VA21635HL320AA0. Power loss is rated at 6.5 W maximum — a modest thermal load for a 63 A frame, but worth noting if the breaker is grouped tightly in a non-ventilated enclosure.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL32-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HL32-0CH0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
