Breaking capacity hits 121 kA at 415 V and 187 kA at 240 V, with 75.6 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V — selectivity headroom for most distribution panels feeding motor control centers. Trip class is field-adjustable across 10A, 10/10E, 20/20E, and 30/30E. ## Current production — no lifecycle risk Standard SENTRON 3VA platform documentation (IEC/UL ratings, CE, UKCA, EAC) applies; the motor protection variant carries the same approvals as the base series. Dimensions are 105 mm wide × 181 mm high × 86 mm deep — fits standard SENTRON 3VA panel cutouts and busbar systems; the 86 mm depth keeps it clear of shallow enclosure doors. Rated insulation voltage 800 V, power loss 4 W max at rated current — thermal budget inside the enclosure stays low for grouping multiple breakers.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5MP36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 121 kA at 415","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5MP36-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 3-pole, motor protection design with adjustable trip class and communication function. 121 kA breaking capacit","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)"],"specifications":{"Depth":"86 mm","Width":"105 mm","Height":"181 mm","Maximum":"30 s","Minimum":"3 s","at 240 V":"187 kA","at 415 V":"121 kA","at 440 V":"121 kA","at 500 V":"75.6 kA","at 690 V":"3.7 kA","at 40 °C":"63 A","at 45 °C":"63 A","at 50 °C":"63 A","at 55 °C":"63 A","at 60 °C":"63 A","at 65 °C":"63 A","at 70 °C":"63 A","Depth [In]":"3.39 in","Width [In]":"4.13 in","Height [In]":"7.13 in","Trip Indicator":"No","Number Of Poles":"3","Voltage Trigger":"No","lifecycle_stage":"current","Product Brand Name":"SENTRON","Product Designation":"Molded case circuit breaker","Undervoltage Release":"No","Design Of The Product":"Motor protection","Communication Function":"Yes","Phase Failure Detection":"Yes","During Storage / Maximum":"80 °C","During Storage / Minimum":"-40 °C","power loss [W] / maximum":"4 W","During Operation / Maximum":"70 °C","During Operation / Minimum":"-25 °C","Other Measurement Function":"No","Ground-Fault Monitoring Version":"Without","Continuous Current / Rated Value":"63 A","Insulation Voltage / Rated Value":"800 V","adjustable trip class (Tc CLASS)":"10A, 10/10E, 20/ 20E, 30/30E","Design Of The Overcurrent Release":"ETU550M","protection class IP / on the front":"IP40","operating power / at AC-3 / at 230 V":"18 500 W","operating power / at AC-3 / at 400 V":"30 000 W","Product Function / Grounding Protection":"No","operating voltage / at AC / rated value":"690 V","reference code / according to IEC 81346-2":"Q","Continuous Current / Rated Value / Maximum":"160 A","Product Extension / Optional / Motor Drive":"Yes","Protection Function Of The Overcurrent Release":"LSI","number of CO contacts / for auxiliary contacts":"0","Switching Capacity Class Of The Circuit Breaker":"E","Mechanical Service Life (Operating Cycles) / Typical":"25 000","Type Of Electrical Connection / For Main Current Circuit":"double-sided box terminal","Arrangement Of Electrical Connectors / For Main Current Circuit":"Front terminal"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/b27f8f8fa25a6619d6d76a928fe2e8a2.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=1133443&mlfb=3VA2163-5MP36-0AA0","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/3VA2163-5MP36-0AA0/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does 3VA2163-5MP36-0AA0 have communication capability?","answer":"Yes, it includes a communication function for remote monitoring and trip indication."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?","answer":"Standard SENTRON 3VA documentation covers IEC/UL ratings, CE, UKCA, and EAC compliance for the motor protection variant."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-5MP36-0AA0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-5MP36-0AA0 when reusing this data.
