The sharp drop at 690 V (3.7 kA) is typical for a 3-pole MCCB on a 690 V line — the arc-extinction challenge at that voltage limits the rating, so if your system runs 690 V, verify the available fault current is under that threshold. The ETU320 trip unit is electronic, not thermal-magnetic, so the trip curve is programmable via the front interface — no heater elements to age, but the power loss is 6.5 W maximum, which adds to the enclosure's thermal budget.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0BL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, ETU32","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0BL0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, ETU320 trip unit, interrupting capacity 187 kA at 240 V.
