That 63 A holds flat from 40 °C through 70 °C, so you can mount it in a warm cabinet without recalculating the load. Interrupting capacity is 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. That 187 kA at 240 V covers high-fault utility feeds; the 121 kA at 415 V handles most industrial distribution. The 3.7 kA at 690 V is a reminder that this breaker is sized for low-voltage mains, not 690 V motor circuits. The auxiliary switches report breaker status back to the PLC — useful for remote fault annunciation. Dimensions are 86 mm deep, 105 mm wide, 181 mm high. That 105 mm width is a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — it fits the same DIN-rail or screw-mount pattern as other SENTRON 3VA frames. Power loss is 4 W maximum, so heat dissipation inside the panel is minimal — no forced cooling required for a single unit. Operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C; storage range is -40 °C to 80 °C.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5JQ32-0AD0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5JQ32-0AD0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V interrupting.
