Rated interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V and 187 kA at 415 V, so it handles high-fault scenarios common in industrial mains or transformer-fed sub-distribution without cascading upstream. Three-pole, 105 mm wide, 86 mm deep, 181 mm tall — mounts on a standard DIN rail or panel-mount plate. The 105 mm width matches the SENTRON 3VA2 frame footprint, so it drops into an existing MCCB slot without re-drilling the sub-panel. That means you get remote status and undervoltage protection without adding external relays — useful for safety circuits that need to drop the breaker on a control-voltage loss.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN36-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN36-0CH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA interrupting at 240 V.
