Breaking capacity reaches 330 kA at 240 V AC and 242 kA at 415/440 V, dropping to 3.7 kA at 690 V — the high 240 V figure suits low-voltage distribution where fault currents can be extreme, while the 415 V rating still covers most industrial motor branch circuits. The 3-pole construction matches three-phase motor feeds. ## Auxiliary and trip options The auxiliary contacts let a PLC or DCS confirm breaker position and trip status without extra interface relays. The trip indicator and voltage trigger are built in, so a downstream controller sees exactly when the breaker has operated on fault.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN32-0KL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MN32-0KL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated at 40 °C, 3-pole, motor protection design with shunt trip and auxiliary switches.
