At 690 V the rating falls to 3.7 kA, so this is not a 690 V main breaker unless fault current is tightly limited. ## Rated current and thermal performance The breaker holds its full 63 A rating across the entire 40 °C to 70 °C ambient range with no derating — the spec table lists 63 A at every 5 °C step from 40 °C through 70 °C. That simplifies panel design in warm enclosures or adjacent to heat-producing gear. The breaker ships with 3 auxiliary switches (HQ design) integrated; no auxiliary release or voltage trip module is included.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN36-0AD0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN36-0AD0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V.
