The shunt trip (STL) is built in, not a field-add-on — part number 3VA9688-0BL33 for the integrated auxiliary trip. It's a straight line-protection MCCB with remote trip capability and basic alarm contacts.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0KH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL36-0KH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated current, 187 kA breaking at 240 V, 3-pole, ETU320 release, shunt trip.
