Interrupting capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V and still clears 187 kA at 500 V, so it handles the fault energy from a multi-megawatt transformer without welding contacts shut. The basic switch variant is 3VA2163-7MN32-0AA0, so the -0JC0 suffix adds the shunt trip and aux contacts in a factory-integrated package that avoids field wiring errors. Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that drops into the SENTRON panel infrastructure without re-drilling gland plates or re-spacing DIN rails. The 4 W maximum power loss at rated load means you can cluster breakers without cooking the enclosure, and the -25 °C to 70 °C operating range covers unheated electrical rooms and cold-weather turbine cabinets.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN32-0JC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN32-0JC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated at 40-70 °C, 330 kA at 240 V interrupting capacity.
