The 63 A frame keeps the footprint compact enough for a 600 mm wide enclosure with room for a downstream contactor and overload relay in a motor starter column. ## Thermal derating — what the 63 A rating actually delivers Above that it starts to taper: 60.48 A at 55 °C, 59.22 A at 60 °C, 57.96 A at 65 °C, and 56.7 A at 70 °C. The 4 HQ auxiliary switches (form C) are integrated into the breaker; the basic switch module is order code 3VA2163-7MS32-0AA0, and the auxiliary trip module is 3VA9608-0BB24. No phase-failure detection or voltage trigger on this variant.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MS32-0AE0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 330 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MS32-0AE0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 330 kA interrupting at 240 V.
