At 415 V it interrupts 121 kA, and at 240 V it handles 187 kA — figures that put it comfortably in the high-fault category for industrial distribution. ## Motor protection features This MCCB includes phase failure detection and a shunt trip (STL) release, plus two auxiliary switches HQ for remote status feedback — all factory-integrated, so you don't add separate modules on the DIN rail. It is designed as a motor protection device, meaning the trip curve and thermal memory are tuned for motor starting inrush and overload profiles, not just cable protection.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MN32-0HC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5MN32-0HC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated at 40 °C, 3-pole, motor protection design, 121 kA at 415 V.
