That's unusual; most MCCBs start derating above 40 °C. At 415 V and 440 V it still holds 187 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA — so on a 690 V system the upstream fuse or breaker still needs to handle the heavy lifting. The basic switch variant is 3VA2163-6HN36-0AA0; the -0BC0 suffix adds the UVR and aux switches as a factory-assembled package. Dimensions are 181 mm high, 105 mm wide, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that drops into most Siemens SENTRON distribution panels and third-party enclosures with a 105 mm wide mounting cutout. The 6.5 W maximum power loss means it won't cook adjacent devices in a sealed enclosure, but still account for it in the thermal budget if you're packing the panel tight.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN36-0BC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN36-0BC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 3-pole, 242 kA at 240 V.
