The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, drops to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — so for a 480 V panel you're looking at roughly 75–121 kA of fault-clearing muscle depending on the exact service voltage. The auxiliary switch design carries two HQ auxiliary switches. If you need ground-fault monitoring or a shunt trip, this isn't the order code — check the 3VA21 family for those options. It means this MCCB can sit in a warm cabinet next to drives or transformers without losing ampacity. The 187 kA at 240 V is the headline interrupting number; at typical industrial voltages (480Y/277 V) you're working with the 75.6 kA at 500 V figure, which still covers most transformer-fed fault currents below 2000 kVA.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0AC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HL36-0AC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.

That is the front-to-back dimension — critical for enclosure clearance behind the panel."},{"question":"Will 3VA2163-5HL36-0AC0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?","answer":"Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same physical frame family, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing are shared. The 3VA2163 carries a higher interrupting capacity (187 kA vs the 3VA2116's lower rating) and a different trip curve — verify the trip unit settings match your coordination study before swapping."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?","answer":"As a SENTRON series MCCB, it carries the standard Siemens declarations — RoHS, REACH, and IEC/UL certifications typical for the 3VA family.
