Breaking capacity is 242 kA at 240 V AC and 187 kA at 415/440 V, dropping to 121 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The UVR ensures the breaker trips on loss of control voltage — critical for machinery where an undervoltage condition must isolate the load. The auxiliary switch complement (2 NO/NC + trip + electrical alarm) provides status feedback for PLC inputs or remote annunciation, supporting a clean audit trail on what state the breaker is in. The sharp drop to 3.7 kA at 690 V means it is not intended for 690 V line-side applications — it is a 240/415 V rated device. For 690 V systems, a higher-voltage rated frame is needed. The 63 A continuous rating with flat derating to 70 °C simplifies panel thermal budgeting: no need to oversize for elevated ambient temperatures in a sealed enclosure. The supplied basic switch for this variant is 3VA2163-6HL36-0AA0; the order code 3VA2163-6HL36-0DL0 adds the undervoltage release and the full auxiliary switch complement. If a panel was specified around the 3VA2163-5HL32-0DB0 (a similar 3-pole 63 A frame), verify the auxiliary switch count and UVR presence — the -6HL36-0DL0 carries more aux contacts and a UVR, so it may require additional wiring space but drops into the same mounting footprint. ## Physical Integration and Wiring The 3-pole design occupies a standard 105 mm module width. The undervolture release coil must be wired to the appropriate control voltage; the auxiliary switches are pre-wired to the terminal block on the breaker face. Power loss is 6.5 W maximum — negligible for enclosure heat rise calculations but worth noting for tightly packed cabinets. The 63 A rating is maintained without derating across the full operating range, which simplifies panel design for unconditioned spaces.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL36-0DL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HL36-0DL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
