Its 3-pole design handles three-phase line protection, with a maximum breaking capacity of 187 kA at 240 V AC, stepping down to 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard MCCB footprint for 63 A frame sizes, so it fits existing panel cutouts and busbar arrangements without modification. Maximum power loss is 6.5 W, which keeps internal panel temperature rise manageable even in densely packed enclosures. Operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C, with storage from -40 °C to 80 °C. The 63 A rating holds flat across the entire 40–70 °C ambient band, which simplifies coordination studies — no temperature-based derating curves to factor in for typical industrial panel environments. The 187 kA interrupting rating at 240 V gives ample headroom for most service-entrance applications, though the steep drop to 3.7 kA at 690 V means this breaker is best applied at 480 V or below for high-fault scenarios.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0BC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0BC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking at 240 V.
