Built into the SENTRON platform, this MCCB includes an undervoltage release and phase failure detection as standard — two features that matter for motor circuits: the UVR drops the breaker if control voltage dips below the dropout threshold, and phase-loss detection prevents single-phasing damage on a three-phase motor. ## Thermal and Electrical Ratings","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MN36-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5MN36-0CH0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 3-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
