That means it clears high-fault scenarios downstream of a large transformer or bus riser without cascading upstream breakers. For a molding cell or conveyor line where you need to coordinate with downstream motor starters and avoid nuisance trips on inrush, that adjustability is the difference between a clean trip and a line-down event. That gives you separate dry contacts for remote status, trip indication, and a dedicated alarm — no need to add a separate signal block for most panels. The shunt trip release (STL) is integrated as the auxiliary release design — wired separately, it lets a remote E-stop or PLC output trip the breaker without a mechanical linkage. ## Thermal derating — what the numbers mean At 55 °C it derates to 60.6 A, at 60 °C to 58.3 A, at 65 °C to 55.9 A, and at 70 °C to 53.6 A.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-6HN36-0KL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 242 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN36-0KL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated continuous current, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
