The line-protection design designation means the thermal-magnetic trip curve is calibrated for cable and busbar protection, not motor inrush — pair it with a contactor or starter for motor branch circuits. ## Panel integration Dimensions: 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth. No undervoltage release and no trip indicator — if your safety circuit requires UVR for loss-of-voltage protection, specify a variant with that option. The 4 W maximum power loss is low enough that no forced ventilation is required in a standard IP54 enclosure, but verify the internal temperature rise if ganged with other high-current breakers.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN36-0AB0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN36-0AB0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC.
