The overcurrent release is an ETU350M — a microprocessor-based trip unit with adjustable thermal-magnetic curves, phase-failure detection, and a voltage-trigger input. The shunt trip (STL) release is built in, so remote tripping from a safety PLC or emergency-stop chain is wired directly, no add-on module needed. Auxiliary contacts: two form-C auxiliary switches plus one dedicated trip-alarm switch (HQ), letting the control system distinguish a normal open from a fault trip. ## Deployment context — panel integration and derating At 63 A continuous the breaker dissipates up to 75 W, so internal panel temperature rise matters — the rating holds at 63 A up to 50 °C ambient, then derates to 60.48 A at 55 °C and 56.7 A at 70 °C. If the enclosure runs hot from drives or transformers, size the feeder for the derated current, not the 63 A nameplate. ## What ships inside — internal sub-assemblies The basic switch (the main contact and arc-chamber assembly) is order code 3VA2163-7MN36-0AA0, and the integrated auxiliary trip module is 3VA9688-0BL30. These are the serviceable sub-assemblies if the breaker takes a fault hit and needs internal replacement rather than full swap-out.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN36-0HH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 330 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MN36-0HH0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated continuous current, 330 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, motor protection version with ETU350M release.
