The interrupting capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, and 187 kA at 500 V — drops to 3.7 kA at 690 V, so watch the system voltage if you're spec'ing into a 690 V line. The design is explicitly motor protection, which means the thermal-magnetic or electronic trip curve is shaped for motor inrush — it rides through the starting surge without nuisance tripping, then clears a locked-rotor fault. No undervoltage release on this variant, so if you need UVR, this isn't the order code. Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — standard 3VA2 3-pole footprint. ## Integration notes for the panel builder The 4 W maximum power loss is the heat dissipated at full rated current — factor that into your enclosure ventilation calculation if you're stacking multiple breakers in a sealed box.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN36-0HL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN36-0HL0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A at 40-70 °C, 3-pole, 330 kA at 240 V.
