Breaking capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V AC, 187 kA at 415/440 V, and still delivers 121 kA at 500 V, making it a strong choice for high-fault panels where SCCR headroom matters. Because the breaker holds full rating through 50 °C, you get a 10 °C thermal headroom margin before any derating kicks in — useful in a crowded panel where ambient runs warm. The ETU350 electronic trip unit offers adjustable thermal and magnetic settings (not detailed in this listing), which lets the specifying engineer fine-tune the trip curve to the load — motor start vs. resistive heater vs. distribution feeder. The auxiliary switch package (2 form-C + 1 trip alarm) is pre-installed, saving a wiring step during panel build.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN32-0AH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 242 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN32-0AH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated at 40 °C, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
