In a sealed, uncooled enclosure — typical for motor control centers in hot plant environments — that derating matters. ## Trip unit and protection features The ETU350M is a microprocessor-based release providing adjustable overload (Ir), short-time (Isd), and instantaneous (Ii) protection, plus ground-fault alarm (not trip — this unit ships without ground-fault monitoring). Phase failure detection is included, which is critical for motor protection: losing one phase on a running motor draws locked-rotor current on the remaining phases, and the release catches that imbalance. The breaker also carries a shunt trip (STL) auxiliary release for remote tripping, plus a 2+2 auxiliary contact block (2 auxiliary switches + 1 trip alarm + 1 electrical alarm switch HQ). No undervoltage release or communication module is fitted on this variant. ## Physical dimensions and panel fit Depth of 86 mm includes the rotary handle and arc-chamber protrusion; clearance behind the panel for the rear terminals should allow at least 100 mm for cable bending radius.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5MN36-0JL0 MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5MN36-0JL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated current, 3-pole motor protection with ETU350M release. 187 kA at 240 V.
