Its interrupting capacity hits 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, so it handles high-fault scenarios common in industrial distribution without cascading upstream breakers. Designed for line protection, this MCCB carries a shunt trip release (STL) plus two auxiliary switches, one trip alarm switch, and one electrical alarm switch — enough status feedback for a PLC or remote monitoring system without an add-on module. The 3-pole footprint matches the SENTRON 3VA2 family, so if you're swapping into an existing panel, check the busbar spacing — same pole pitch as the rest of the series. No undervoltage release on this variant, so if your safety circuit requires UVR, you'll need to add it externally or spec a different suffix. ## Auxiliary and trip configuration That's a full complement of status contacts for most control schemes without needing a separate accessory kit. The trip indicator and voltage trigger are built in, so you get local visual indication and remote signal capability. Communication function is not included on this variant — no integrated Modbus or PROFIBUS; if you need that, look at the 3VA2 with communication option. ## Environmental and storage specs That covers most indoor panel environments, including unheated warehouses in cold climates.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN32-0HL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN32-0HL0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA at 240 V.
