Designed specifically for motor protection, it includes phase failure detection so a single lost phase trips the breaker before single-phasing damages the winding. Breaking capacity runs 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. ## Built-in auxiliary and trip signalling The auxiliary switches give the PLC or SCADA a dry-contact status of the breaker position; the trip alarm and electrical alarm switches report fault and electrical trip events separately. The shunt trip lets a remote signal — emergency stop, fire alarm, or undervoltage relay — force the breaker open. The basic switch core is order code 3VA2163-7MN32-0AA0, meaning the auxiliary and release assemblies are integrated at the factory rather than field-added. Panel builders avoid the extra wiring step of snap-on accessory modules. ## Environmental and installation limits","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN32-0JL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MN32-0JL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated at 40 °C, 3-pole, motor protection design with phase failure detection.
