That thermal stability means the breaker holds its rating through most panel internal temperature rises without forced derating. Interrupting capacity is 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V — numbers that put this squarely in high-fault-current distribution, not branch-only protection. This is a line-protection version (not motor-protection), so it's sized for feeder and main breaker duty in distribution panels, switchboards, or as a transformer secondary protector. The IP40 front protection suits enclosed panel mounting — not outdoor or washdown. ## Auxiliary contacts and trip signaling Comes with 1 auxiliary switch + 1 trip alarm switch (HQ version). The trip alarm signals when the breaker trips on fault — distinct from the aux switch which follows handle position. This matters for remote fault annunciation in UPS or generator feeder circuits where you need to distinguish a manual open from a trip event.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL36-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 242 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL36-0AF0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 63 A rated, ETU320 electronic trip, 242 kA at 240 V.
