The 3VA2163-6HN32-0KL0 delivers 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at both 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V. This steep derating above 500 V is typical for molded case breakers with electronic trip units; at 690 V the device still clears 5 kA, adequate for most 690 V load-side faults but not for high-fault bus applications at that voltage. ## Current derating over temperature Rated 63 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, the breaker begins linear derating above 55 °C: 60.6375 A at 55 °C, 58.275 A at 60 °C, 55.9125 A at 65 °C, and 53.55 A at 70 °C. In a sealed, uncooled enclosure with multiple breakers ganged, expect to apply the 70 °C derating factor if internal ambient reaches that level. The rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the operating temperature range spans -25 °C to 70 °C, with storage from -40 °C to 80 °C. Maximum power loss is 4 W.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN32-0KL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 242 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN32-0KL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 242 kA at 240 V, 3-pole, ETU350 release, shunt trip.
