It's designed for line protection — think main feeder or large branch circuit where you need high fault interruption without upstream coordination headaches. That means you can mount it in a crowded enclosure without losing capacity. The 242 kA SCCR at 240 V is the maximum interrupting rating; at 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA, so verify your available fault current at the installation voltage. The 3-pole design with an integral auxiliary switch (1 aux + 1 trip alarm) gives you remote status without an add-on module. ## Panel integration & dimensions The supplied basic switch is 3VA21636HL320AA0, and the auxiliary switch configuration is 1 auxiliary + 1 trip alarm (HQ design).","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL32-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HL32-0AF0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, breaking capacity 242 kA at 240 V.
