The interrupting ratings span the common industrial voltages: 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. At 415 V, that 121 kA SCCR gives you headroom for high-fault panels without cascading upstream — useful when the transformer is close to the switchboard. Maximum power loss is 4 W, so heat buildup inside a sealed enclosure stays manageable.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MN32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MN32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 3-pole, motor protection design with adjustable trip class.
