Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. That 187 kA figure at 240 V means it can safely clear a fault from a large transformer or a utility feed without the arc flashing upstream — critical for high-fault commercial and industrial service entrances. The 63 A rating is the continuous current the breaker carries without tripping; the interrupting ratings tell you the maximum fault current it can safely break at each voltage level. ## Panel fit and mounting Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that bolts into a panel or mounts on a DIN rail adapter. The 86 mm depth is the dimension you care about for enclosure depth clearance, especially when routing bus bars or cables behind the breaker. It ships with a trip indicator (mechanical flag on the front) and carries an auxiliary switch block rated for 2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip alarm switch HP — useful for remote status monitoring in a PLC input. ## Environmental and compliance Operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C; storage range is -40 °C to 80 °C. The breaker dissipates 4 W maximum at rated load — negligible heat for a panel, but worth noting if you're packing multiple breakers in a sealed enclosure. Insulation voltage is rated 800 V, so it's suitable for 480/277 V and 600 V systems with headroom. The product design is line protection (not motor or generator protection), meaning its trip curve is optimized for cable and bus protection rather than motor inrush.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN36-0AJ0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HN36-0AJ0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
