The breaking capacity is the headline figure here: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V. The 5 kA at 690 V tells you this isn't a 690 V main breaker; it's sized for 400–500 V distribution. The undervoltage release (UVR) is integrated, so if you need a shunt trip you'd spec a different suffix. The 86 mm depth means it clears a 100 mm backpanel enclosure without interference. The 6.5 W maximum power loss is modest; you won't need forced ventilation for a single unit, but cluster several in a sealed box and factor the heat into the thermal budget. The 20 000-cycle mechanical endurance is typical for an MCCB in distribution duty — not a switch-disconnector cycled daily, but fine for a breaker that operates a few times a year plus the occasional fault interruption.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL32-0CL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 242 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL32-0CL0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated at 40 °C, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
