This MCCB delivers 330 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. At the common 415 V distribution level, 242 kA gives generous headroom for most industrial secondary substations — selectivity with upstream fuses or a larger-frame MCCB is straightforward. ## Motor protection features and auxiliary hardware The design includes a shunt trip release (STL) that can be energized from a safety relay or E-stop circuit; it is a separate voltage-triggered coil, so verify the control voltage matches your panel supply. Two HQ auxiliary switches are factory-fitted, giving you one N/O and one N/C contact for status indication. The basic switch assembly is orderable separately as 3VA2163-7MN32-0AA0 if you ever need a replacement core. The breaker occupies 105 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth — a standard compact MCCB footprint for 63 A three-pole units. It mounts via screw terminals to a backplate or DIN rail adapter (not included).","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN32-0HC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MN32-0HC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A at 40 °C, 3-pole, motor protection design with shunt trip release.
