SCCR is the headline number here. At 240 V the breaker interrupts 330 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it holds 242 kA, and at 690 V it still clears 52.5 kA. Those are high-fault ratings — typical for a large-frame industrial MCCB installed at the service entrance or feeding a motor control center where available fault current exceeds 100 kA. The 63 A rating is flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 60.48 A at 55 °C and 56.7 A at 70 °C. Fixed mount — no DIN-rail clip on this frame size. The 2 auxiliary switches (HQ type) are pre-installed; the integrated auxiliary trip is order code 3VA9688-0BL33. Max power dissipation is 75 W, so the panel ventilation needs to move that heat. Latching endurance is 20 000 cycles — mechanical life is higher, but the latching mechanism is the wear item for frequent switching applications.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MN36-0AC0 MCCB, 63 A, 3-pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MN36-0AC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 3-pole, motor protection with ETU350M release, 330 kA at 240 V.

The 3VA2163-7MN36-0AC0 uses the ETU350M electronic release with phase failure detection; the 5SQ2370 variants typically carry a different release family. Verify the trip curve and auxiliary count before substituting — the mounting footprint and terminal layout are compatible, but the release logic differs."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-7MN36-0AC0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-7MN36-0AC0 when reusing this data.
