That means the breaker carries its full rating across typical panel ambient temperatures without forced derating, which matters when you're stacking multiple breakers in a closed enclosure. The breaking capacity is the headline number here: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. For a 63 A frame, 187 kA is high — this breaker is designed for installations with high available fault current, typically close to the transformer secondary or on a large industrial service entrance. The undervoltage release is built in — when control voltage drops, the breaker trips automatically, which is standard for safety circuits and emergency-stop chains. The 105 mm width is standard for a 3-pole MCCB in this class — it occupies three 35 mm DIN spaces (3 x 35 mm = 105 mm). Maximum power loss is 6.5 W — negligible for enclosure heat budgeting but worth noting if you're packing a high-density panel.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN36-0BH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN36-0BH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated current, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
