At 415 V and 440 V it still handles 121 kA, and at 500 V it's 75.6 kA; only at 690 V does it drop to 3.7 kA, so keep that in mind if your line voltage is above 500 V. The auxiliary release is a shunt trip (STL) — that's the '5MN36' position in the order code. It lets you trip the breaker remotely via a control voltage, which is standard for emergency-stop circuits or remote shutdown. The trip indicator is not present on this unit, meaning you won't get a mechanical flag showing the breaker tripped on fault vs. manual off; factor that into your troubleshooting workflow. ## Mounting dimensions and panel fit The width is standard for a 63 A frame in the 3VA2 family, so if you're swapping out an older Sentinel or 3VL breaker, check the mounting footprint against the existing busbar or lug kit. ## Environmental limits and power loss The continuous current rating holds at 63 A across the full operating temperature band, so no derating needed even at 70 °C ambient.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MN36-0HA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Shunt","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MN36-0HA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, motor protection design with shunt trip (STL) and phase failure detection.
