That means in a warm panel (say 55 °C ambient) you still get 60.6 A — no need to oversize for typical industrial enclosures. Breaking capacity drops sharply above 500 V: 121 kA at 500 V, 5 kA at 690 V. On a 690 V system this breaker is only good for low-fault locations; for high-rupture 690 V duty, a higher-rated frame is the right call. Mounts on DIN rail or fixed baseplate. The 105 mm width is three-pole standard for SENTRON 3VA2 frames; leave 10 mm air gap above and below for cooling. No auxiliary contacts or communication module on this variant — the UVR is the only internal accessory. Acceptable for unheated warehouses or outdoor cabinets in temperate climates.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HL32-0CA0 MCCB, 63 A, 242 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HL32-0CA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated current, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
