That's a serious short-circuit rating for a 63 A frame; it can clear a high-fault bolted arc upstream without self-destructing, which matters when you're feeding a panel downstream of a big transformer. That's uncommon; most MCCBs start dropping current above 40 °C. If your panel runs hot near a drive bank or a furnace wall, this one keeps delivering full rated amps. The 86 mm depth (3.39 in) means it clears shallow gland plates and back-panel wiring troughs without sticking out.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA2163-7HN32-0HC0 MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 330 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7HN32-0HC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 3-pole, 330 kA interrupting at 240 V AC.
