The 63 A rating holds up to 50 °C ambient; above that the breaker derates linearly to 53.55 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 4 W. These limits matter when the breaker is enclosed in a non-ventilated panel or mounted near other heat sources — the derating curve (55 °C: 60.6 A, 60 °C: 58.3 A, 65 °C: 55.9 A) should be applied to avoid nuisance tripping. ## Mechanical endurance and auxiliary configuration The breaker is rated for 20,000 mechanical operations (latching endurance). It includes a shunt trip release (design: STL) and two HQ auxiliary switches. The auxiliary switch set (2 HQ) is sufficient for basic status indication to a PLC or remote I/O; if more contacts are needed, the 3VA platform accepts field-installable accessory modules. Dimensions: 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth. The 105 mm width is the standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for the SENTRON 3VA frame; it occupies three 35 mm DIN-rail modules (each ~35 mm wide) or bolts directly to a mounting plate.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL32-0HC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HL32-0HC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 187 kA at 240 V.
