The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip unit covers a range from 95 A minimum to 756 A maximum, so you set the instantaneous pickup to match the inrush of your motor or transformer load without swapping the breaker body. This MCCB interrupts 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. At 690 V the capacity drops to 3.7 kA, so verify your available fault current if you're using this on a 690 V system. At 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, and 86 mm deep, this 3-pole MCCB fits standard panel cutouts for SENTRON 3VA2 frames. The depth of 86 mm (3.39 in) matters when you're laying out bus bars or rear-access wiring — make sure your enclosure depth clears it with room for cable bending radius. ## Auxiliary and communication options The base switch variant is 3VA21635JP320AA0. Communication function is built in, which on the 3VA2 platform typically means PROFIBUS or PROFINET capability for integration into a higher-level control system.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5JP32-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5JP32-0AF0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 63 A rated, 95-756 A adjustable trip, 187 kA at 240 V.
