The headline number that matters up-tower: 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 5 kA at 690 V. In a wind turbine context, the short-circuit current from the converter DC-link or the grid-side transformer can punch hard; this breaker is rated to take that hit and clear it, no up-tower swaps needed after a fault. ## Panel fit and thermal derating The 63 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C; above that it derates linearly to 53.55 A at 70 °C. If your panel sits in a hot nacelle or a Saudi substation, that derating curve is your real-world ampacity. IP40 on the front face means it keeps out tools and dust but isn't washdown-rated — it belongs inside a sealed enclosure. ## Auxiliary contacts and trip unit If you need remote monitoring or undervoltage protection, you're looking at a different suffix.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL32-0AG0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 242 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL32-0AG0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 3-pole, ETU320, 242 kA at 240 V breaking capacity.
