At 240 V it clears 330 kA. Dimensions are 181 mm high, 140 mm wide, 86 mm deep — standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for a SENTRON 3VA2 frame. Communication function is built in, so it can integrate with a bus system for remote monitoring or trip-data retrieval without an external module. Ground-fault monitoring uses summation-current formation on L+N, which covers TN and TT systems without a separate GF relay. ## Breaking capacity by voltage — selectivity planning At 500 V it still holds 187 kA, which is enough for most industrial 480 V panels (typically 65–100 kA SCCR). For 690 V systems with high fault current, step up to a higher-frame 3VA breaker.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7JQ46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 4-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-7JQ46-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 4-pole, 242 kA breaking capacity at 415 V.
