The sharp drop at 690 V is typical for this frame size — the arc extinction limits at higher voltage mean this breaker is not a candidate for 690 V motor circuits unless the available fault current is verified below 3.7 kA. At 415 V the 121 kA figure provides headroom for most industrial distribution panels, supporting selective coordination with downstream 18 kA or 25 kA MCCBs.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MN32-0JH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MN32-0JH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A at 40-70°C, 3-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
