Interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V AC, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. Line protection design means it's tuned for feeder and distribution duty, not motor-starting curves. ## Fit and footprint Power loss maxes out at 4 W, so ventilation requirements are minimal even in a sealed enclosure. ## Switching and signaling Trip indicator is present on the front face, so a walk-by tells you whether it's a manual open or a fault.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN36-0AJ0 MCCB, 63A, 242kA at 240V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN36-0AJ0 molded case circuit breaker, 63A continuous, 242kA interrupting at 240V. 3-pole, line protection.
