The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip range spans from 95 A minimum to 756 A maximum, giving the commissioning engineer room to tailor the instantaneous pickup to the load's inrush profile. At 240 VAC it clears 242 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it holds 187 kA; at 500 V it still manages 121 kA. In a 400 V-class panel (the most common industrial distribution voltage), 187 kA SCCR gives ample headroom for transformer-fed main breakers and bus-riser protection. The 86 mm depth (3.39 in) is shallow enough for shallow-profile wall-mount enclosures; the 105 mm width (4.13 in) matches the typical 3-pole mounting centers. No undervoltage release fitted from the factory — that's a field-install accessory if your safety circuit demands it. ## Auxiliary switching and control wiring ## Environmental limits and storage The storage maximum of 80 °C is the handling limit — don't leave it in a hot truck or roofed warehouse in summer without checking the internal packaging. The operating minimum of -25 °C covers cold-start conditions in unheated switchrooms or outdoor enclosures in temperate climates.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HL36-0KL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HL36-0KL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, line protection, 242 kA breaking at 240 VAC.
