This MCCB delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and at 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 187 kA figure at 240 V covers high-fault utility feeds in North American panels; the 121 kA at 415 V handles the common industrial fault level in IEC 60947-2 installations. At 690 V the capacity drops to 3.7 kA — adequate for most 690 V motor circuits but verify against your system's prospective short-circuit current. The 105 mm width matches the common 4-module (4 x 27 mm) DIN-rail spacing used in SENTRON distribution boards, so it drops into an existing panel without re-drilling the mounting plate.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5JQ36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5JQ36-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
