The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip unit covers 189 A minimum to 945 A maximum — that's a 5:1 adjustment band, giving flexibility to match the motor full-load current without swapping the breaker. Breaking capacity is the headline number for a panel builder doing fault coordination: 330 kA at 240 V AC, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. ## Auxiliary and control wiring The trip alarm switch changes state only when the breaker trips on fault (not on manual off), which is useful for remote fault annunciation. No undervoltage release fitted, so if you need UVR for a safety circuit, that's a field-add option. No communication module or phase-failure detection onboard — this is a straight electromechanical MCCB, not a smart breaker. If you need power monitoring or remote reset, you'd add the 3VA communication module externally. The basic switch variant is 3VA2163-7MS36-0AA0 — the -0HH0 suffix adds the shunt trip and auxiliary switches.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-7MS36-0HH0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, 330 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-7MS36-0HH0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 3-pole, adjustable trip 189-945 A, 330 kA at 240 V.
