Because this is a current-production Siemens part, lead times typically follow the standard factory cycle; a sourcing inquiry will return the current delivery window and per-unit pricing for the quantity you need. The 75 W maximum power loss at full load means you need to account for heat dissipation in the enclosure; if you are packing multiple breakers in a sealed cabinet, derate the ambient or add forced ventilation above 50 °C, where the continuous current starts to taper from 63 A down to 56.7 A at 70 °C. The 20 000 latching endurance cycles cover the mechanical life; for the electrical endurance, that depends on the breaking current at your service voltage — the datasheet's curve applies.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MS36-0HC0 MCCB, 63 A, 330 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MS36-0HC0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 3-pole, starter protection version with ETU310M release. 330 kA at 240 V.
