It's designed for line protection and carries a communication function, so it can talk to a higher-level controller or BMS over the integrated bus. Breaking capacity sits at 187 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. ## Fit and footprint That's unusual for a compact MCCB; many competitors start derating above 40 °C. The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip range is 95 A minimum to 756 A maximum, so this frame covers a wide band of cable and load protection with one physical unit. Power loss is 4 W maximum — negligible for panel heat budget.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5JP32-0AE0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5JP32-0AE0 molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 63 A continuous, 187 kA breaking at 240 V.
