Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V and still delivers 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, which puts it squarely in high-fault-duty panels where upstream transformer or bus capacity demands a breaker that won't cascade failure. The line-protection design means it's tuned for feeder and main breaker duty, not motor branch-circuit protection. That saves adding a separate shunt-trip module and the wiring to it. Communication function is present, so it can report status to a higher-level system over the SENTRON bus. That 86 mm depth is the key dimension for enclosure depth planning. ## Selectivity and coordination — what the interrupting ratings mean For selectivity studies, the 63 A frame with those ratings coordinates well downstream of a larger-frame SENTRON (e.g., 160 A or 250 A frame) on the same bus.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5JP32-0DA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5JP32-0DA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
