Maximum power loss is 4 W, which is low enough that no forced cooling is needed in a standard IP40 enclosure, but the designer should still account for it in the thermal budget if multiple breakers are ganged. ## Temperature Range and Storage The 70 °C operating max matches the continuous current rating, so the breaker can be installed in a hot machine cabinet or near a furnace without derating.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0AH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HL36-0AH0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
