This is the motor protection design variant, so it includes phase failure detection — a feature that trips the breaker if one phase drops out, preventing single-phasing damage to a motor load. The basic switch itself is order code 3VA2163-7MN32-0AA0, meaning this -0JH0 suffix adds the auxiliary and shunt trip hardware at the factory. Mounting is via the rear DIN rail clip; no additional panel cutout required. The shunt trip wiring lands on the integrated terminal block, and the auxiliary switch contacts are accessible at the front of the breaker for control wiring. ## Breaking Capacity Profile The interrupting capacity varies significantly with system voltage: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at both 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The time-delay settings range from a minimum of 4 s to a maximum of 17 s, giving you a window to coordinate with downstream devices on a selective trip scheme. ## Environmental and Electrical Ratings Maximum power loss is 4 W — negligible for panel thermal budgeting. The undervoltage release is not fitted, and there is no ground-fault monitoring module. Communication function is absent, so this is a standalone thermal-magnetic breaker, not a power-metering or networked device.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN32-0JH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN32-0JH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A continuous, 330 kA at 240 V, motor protection design with phase failure detection.
