Adjustable response time (tr) from 0.5 s to 17 s, giving the panel builder flexibility to coordinate with downstream breakers or motor starters. That 105 mm width for a 3-pole 63 A frame is standard for the SENTRON 3VA platform — it fits existing panel cutouts and busbar spacing without rework. The 4 W loss is low enough that multiple breakers in a row won't drive internal cabinet temperature significantly.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HM36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 242 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HM36-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 63 A, 242 kA at 240 V.
