The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip (minimum 95 A, maximum 756 A) lets you dial the instantaneous pickup to coordinate with downstream breakers or motor starters. At 4 W maximum power loss, it runs cool enough that you can pack it into a dense MCC bucket without cooking adjacent devices. The shunt trip (STL) release lets a remote safety relay or E-stop string drop the breaker under load, which matters for emergency-off circuits that need to kill power to a whole section of the line. The line-protection design means it is wired ahead of the load (feeder or sub-feed), not as a motor-circuit protector; pair it with a contactor and overload for motor duty.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL32-0JL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63A, 3-Pole, 242kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HL32-0JL0 molded case circuit breaker. 63A continuous, 3-pole, line protection.

Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no public stock count or lead-time number is carried here."},{"question":"What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?","answer":"At 240 V it interrupts 242 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it interrupts 187 kA; at 500 V it interrupts 121 kA; at 690 V it interrupts 3.7 kA.

The difference is in the trip unit and accessory configuration — the -6HL32-0JL0 carries a shunt trip release and a specific auxiliary switch complement. If the panel was wired for a shunt trip, this one drops in; if it was not, the shunt trip coil needs a control wire run. Check the existing auxiliary wiring against the -0JL0's switch arrangement (2 aux + 1 trip alarm + 1 electrical alarm) before committing."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-6HL32-0JL0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-6HL32-0JL0 when reusing this data.
