That 3.7 kA at 690 V is the weak point — if your panel feeds a 690 V motor branch with a prospective fault current above 3.7 kA, this breaker will not hold. At the common 400/415 V distribution level, 242 kA covers nearly any industrial installation. The SCCR is the number the panel builder stamps on the nameplate; this breaker lets you claim high fault ratings at 240–500 V without a current-limiting fuse upstream. ## Auxiliary and alarm switch complement That is four discrete signals from one breaker — enough for a motor control center (MCC) bucket without adding external relay logic. That 86 mm depth is the projection from the mounting surface — important when fitting into a shallow MCC bucket or a wall-mount enclosure with a door-mounted operator.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MS32-0DL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-pole, 330 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MS32-0DL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 3-pole, 330 kA at 240 V.

The mounting hole pattern and bus-bar spacing are shared across the 3VA2 range. However, the trip range differs — this unit adjusts 189–945 A versus the smaller frame's range — so verify the trip setting matches the branch protection requirements before substituting."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-7MS32-0DL0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-7MS32-0DL0 when reusing this data.
