It's designed for line protection — the primary job is to protect cable and bus from overload and short circuit in a distribution panel. The interrupting ratings are the headline: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, and still 75.6 kA at 500 V. That's unusual for an MCCB; most start dropping current above 40 °C. The 3-pole footprint is 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame size, so it drops into the same DIN-rail or screw-mount slot as its siblings.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HN36-0AC0 MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HN36-0AC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
