Breaking capacity runs 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. That 187 kA at 240 V is the headline number for high-fault panels on the secondary side of a 480 V–208Y/120 V transformer. ## Line protection and the undervoltage release This variant is designated for line protection — it's the feeder breaker, not a motor circuit protector. The UVR is a separate auxiliary release, not a shunt trip — it holds the breaker closed only while control voltage is present. Lose the control supply, and the breaker opens. That's the distinction for the panel builder wiring the control circuit. At 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, and 86 mm deep, this 3-pole MCCB fits standard SENTRON 3VA mounting footprints. The 86 mm depth is the key dimension for gland-plate clearance in shallow backpanels — verify your enclosure depth before committing the cutout. Maximum power loss is 6.5 W, which is modest for a 63 A frame.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0CA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, UVR","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HL36-0CA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
