It carries a breaking capacity of 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V — numbers that matter when you are protecting a motor branch circuit against high-fault utility feeds or large transformer secondaries. The starter protection designation means the trip curve is shaped to coordinate with contactor and overload relay in a motor starter combination, not a generic distribution feeder. Rated continuous current Iu is 63 A across the ambient range from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 60.48 A at 55 °C and 56.7 A at 70 °C (–). The ETU310M release provides adjustable thermal-magnetic or electronic trip characteristics depending on the exact firmware variant — this one is the starter protection version, so the long-time and short-time pickup are preset to coordinate with motor-starting inrush without nuisance tripping. The shunt trip (STL) allows a remote pushbutton or PLC output to open the breaker instantly, which is standard for emergency-stop circuits that need to kill motor power without pulling the handle. No auxiliary contacts are included, but the shunt trip (STL) is integrated, so you do not need a separate undervoltage release module for remote tripping.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MS32-0JA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-pole, Start","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MS32-0JA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, starter protection version with ETU310M release.

However, the ETU310M electronic release requires a different trip-characteristic setup than the thermal-magnetic release in the peer, and the shunt trip (STL) wiring must be connected if remote tripping is needed. No rewiring of the main power terminals is required, but the control circuit for the shunt trip may need an additional wire pair."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-7MS32-0JA0","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/3VA2163-7MS32-0JA0 when reusing this data.
