Those numbers mean it can sit downstream of a large transformer or in a high-fault industrial distribution panel and still clear a bolted fault without welding its contacts shut. For a motor protection MCCB, that's serious interrupting capability — it keeps the line up when a motor winding shorts. ## Built-in protection features for motor circuits The UVR drops the breaker if supply voltage falls below a set threshold, so a motor doesn't try to start under a brownout and cook itself. Phase failure detection catches a lost phase on a three-phase system and trips before single-phasing damages the motor windings. It also has a trip indicator so you can see at a glance whether it opened on a fault or was manually switched. That gives you status feedback for a PLC or remote monitoring — the trip alarm tells you the breaker opened on a fault, the electrical alarm signals the UVR state, and the aux switches mirror the main contact position. For a motor control center or a remote pump panel, that feedback saves a trip out to check the breaker handle. The 86 mm depth means it fits in shallow enclosures where a deeper MCCB would hit the back wall. Power loss is 6.5 W maximum, so heat buildup in a sealed cabinet is manageable. That covers most industrial environments from a cold warehouse to a hot compressor room. The -25 °C lower limit means it's fine for unheated equipment sheds in most climates — no need for a heater in the panel just for the breaker.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MN36-0DL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5MN36-0DL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 3-pole motor protection, 187 kA at 240 V.
