The ETU340 release is an electronic overcurrent trip with adjustable settings (L, S, I, G) — that's long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection. This matters because you can dial in coordination with downstream breakers without swapping trip units. The 86 mm depth leaves room behind the panel door for wiring gutters or a second row of breakers. No special adapter plate needed for a standard 600 V switchboard. ## Breaking capacity across voltages Interrupting capacity drops as voltage rises: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. On a 480 V system with typical transformer sizes (up to 2500 kVA), 187 kA is more than enough for most service entrances.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HK32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HK32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
