Dimensions are 181 mm height, 140 mm width, and 86 mm depth — a standard footprint for a 4-pole frame in this class. The breaker does not include an undervoltage release, ground-fault monitoring, or communication function; it is a straight line-protection device with the ETU320 as the only intelligent element. ## Panel Integration & Mounting The 140 mm width occupies roughly 5.5 inches of rail space for the 4-pole frame. Spring-cage terminals accept copper conductors sized for the 63 A rating; verify lug torque per the installation instructions.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HL42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 4-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HL42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 4-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
