Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. This is a line-protection design, not a motor-protective or feeder-only breaker. ## Physical fit — what the 86 mm depth means for panel layout The 86 mm depth is the critical number for enclosure depth — standard 200 mm deep enclosures leave comfortable wiring space behind the breaker. Width of 105 mm for a 3-pole MCCB is typical for the SENTRON 3VA frame; it occupies roughly 4 inches of DIN-rail or mounting-plate width. Verify gland-plate clearance for the UVR wiring and auxiliary switch cables before final assembly. ## What you get in the box — auxiliary releases and switches No ground-fault monitoring version, no communication function, no voltage trigger. The trip indicator is present — a visual flag on the breaker face shows tripped state without needing to read the handle position.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN36-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HN36-0CH0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 187 kA breaking at 240 V. 3-pole, line protection, undervoltage release.
