The ETU350M electronic overcurrent release provides adjustable protection curves, and the built-in phase failure detection catches a lost phase before the motor overheats. The 63 A rating holds across ambient temperatures up to 50 °C; at 55 °C it derates to 60.48 A, and at 70 °C to 56.7 A. If the panel runs hot, the actual continuous current capacity is lower than the nameplate — size the load accordingly. The ETU350M release is a microprocessor-based trip unit with LSI protection curves (long-time, short-time, instantaneous). It enables selective coordination downstream — a key requirement for motor control centers where you want the branch breaker to trip before the main. ## Built-in accessories and variants No communication module is fitted; this is a standalone protection device, not a networked power monitor. The basic switch assembly is order code 3VA2163-7MN36-0AA0, and the auxiliary trip is 3VA9608-0BB25 — these are the sub-assembly codes for replacement parts if the breaker is damaged in service.","metaTitle":"3VA2163-7MN36-0DC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63A, 330kA at 240V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MN36-0DC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63A rated, 330kA breaking at 240V.
