At 55 °C it derates to 60.48 A, and at 70 °C to 56.7 A — so in a hot panel (e.g., near a drive or transformer), you must account for the reduced ampacity. Breaking capacity at 690 V is 52.5 kA — still substantial, but a fraction of the 330 kA at 240 V. The breaker occupies a 105 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth footprint — standard for a 3VA frame size. It mounts via screw terminals or optional plug-in base; no DIN-rail clip, so panel cutout and bus-bar planning are required. The 75 W maximum power loss must be ventilated in a sealed enclosure.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN36-0HC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 330 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN36-0HC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated continuous current, 330 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
