That makes it a straight drop-in for panels running warm, without recalculating thermal headroom. Breaking capacity is the headline: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. For a 63 A frame, those numbers mean you can place this breaker at the main distribution point with high fault current without worrying about cascading — it clears a 242 kA fault at 240 V without upstream help. ## Built-in auxiliary switching That gives you both a remote status contact and a separate alarm on trip — useful for feeding a PLC input or a panel light without an extra interposing relay.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN32-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN32-0AF0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
