If your enclosure sits near a furnace line or in a crowded switchboard, this part keeps the full ampacity without a larger frame size. The SCCR numbers tell a clean story: 242 kA at 240 VAC, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. That steep drop above 500 V means you need to check your system voltage before specifying — at 690 V the breaker is still usable for moderate fault levels, but it's not the same brute-force device it is at 480 V. For most 400/480 V industrial services, though, you've got more than enough interrupting margin. Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for the SENTRON 3VA2 family. Make sure your enclosure depth clears the 86 mm plus wiring space; the shunt trip adds no extra depth.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL36-0HA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Shunt","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL36-0HA0 SENTRON 3-pole molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 242 kA interrupting at 240 VAC.

The key difference is the auxiliary release: this unit carries a shunt trip (STL), while the 8HM32 variant uses a different release type. If the panel wiring expects a shunt trip, this one drops in; if it expects undervoltage or no release, you'll need to re-terminate the control wiring."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-6HL36-0HA0","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/3VA2163-6HL36-0HA0 when reusing this data.
