The 86 mm depth, 105 mm width, and 181 mm height (–) fit standard panel layouts — expect it to occupy the same footprint as other 3VA2 frame breakers, so a panel cut for that family accepts this unit without re-drilling the mounting plate. Mounts in a standard MCCB cutout — the 105 mm width and 181 mm height match the 3VA2 frame envelope. Line and load lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors per Siemens termination specs. The undervoltage release requires a separate control voltage; verify polarity and voltage rating against the coil nameplate before energizing. Auxiliary switches are wired to the terminal block on the breaker face; they share the same compartment as the UVR, so keep control wiring segregated from power conductors to avoid induced noise on the alarm circuit.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN32-0CL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63A, 3-Pole, 187kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HN32-0CL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA IC at 240 V.

Both breakers share the same 3VA2 frame dimensions (105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep) and 63 A rating, so bus-bar centers and mounting holes are identical. The difference is that the -5HN32-0CL0 includes an undervoltage release and a different auxiliary switch complement; if the panel already has UVR wiring, it connects directly. If the original spec had no UVR, the extra terminals are simply unused."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-5HN32-0CL0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-5HN32-0CL0 when reusing this data.
