Per the datasheet, the breaking capacity sits at 242 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then to 121 kA at 500 V, and finally 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 63 A continuous rating is thermally rated — it holds at 40 °C, 45 °C, 50 °C, 55 °C, 60 °C, 65 °C, and 70 °C without adjustment. That means a panel running warm (say 55 °C internal ambient) still gets the full 63 A from this breaker. The minimum breaking current is 95 A, maximum 756 A — that's the range over which the internal trip mechanism operates within its calibrated curve. Below 95 A the breaker may not trip in a defined time; above 756 A it's in the instantaneous region.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL32-0DH0 MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 242 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HL32-0DH0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
