The power loss is 4 W max, negligible for panel thermal budgeting. Dimensions are 105 mm wide × 181 mm high × 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA2 footprint that drops into existing 3VA2 panel cutouts without rewiring. ## How the ratings govern your panel decision The 63 A continuous rating is thermally stable across 40–70 °C, so if your panel runs hot at 60 °C, you still get full 63 A — no need to oversize. The auxiliary switch block gives 2 form-C contacts for status, plus dedicated trip and electrical alarm contacts — enough to feed a PLC input or a remote annunciator without extra relays. The 105 mm width fits a 3-pole slot in a SENTRON distribution board or a custom enclosure. The line protection design means it's optimized for cable and busbar protection rather than motor protection — pair it with a separate overload relay for motor circuits.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN32-0HL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN32-0HL0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking at 240 VAC.
