The two HQ auxiliary switches give you status feedback for the PLC or a local indicator lamp. It's a DIN-rail or screw-mount design; the 3-pole footprint matches the common 105 mm width for this class, so swapping in from an older 3VA or 3VL frame is straightforward. For BOM freeze or compliance audits, the manufacturer provides RoHS and REACH declarations on request; UL and IEC certifications are standard for the SENTRON family. That's unusual for an MCCB; most competitors start dropping current above 40 °C. In a sealed panel near a VFD or transformer, this saves you from oversizing to the next frame. The shunt trip release (STL) lets you wire a remote pushbutton or safety relay to trip the breaker without running a full-voltage coil circuit. The two HQ auxiliary switches are rated for control-circuit loads — one for the PLC input, one for a panel lamp or alarm.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MN36-0JC0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MN36-0JC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated at 40-70 °C, 3-pole motor protection with shunt trip and 2 HQ aux switches. 330 kA at 240 V.
