The interrupting ratings are the real differentiator: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. At 415 V, 121 kA means this breaker can clear a fault current that would vaporize a standard 50 kA-rated unit — it's sized for high-capacity transformer secondaries or large motor banks where the available fault current is severe. The 3.7 kA at 690 V is the ceiling for that voltage class; verify your system's prospective short-circuit current at 690 V before specifying. Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame footprint. The 86 mm depth leaves clearance for rear-access wiring; verify gland-plate depth against the enclosure's internal usable space. The shunt trip and auxiliary switch wiring exits the top, so allow bend radius above the breaker.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5HN36-0HH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HN36-0HH0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
