The interrupting capacity reaches 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V, and 220 kA at 500 V — figures that place it in the high-breaking-capacity class for industrial mains protection. At 690 V it still clears 52.5 kA, so it handles the full fault-current range of a 480 V or 600 V service entrance without cascading upstream. The ETU340 trip unit provides adjustable thermal-magnetic or electronic protection curves depending on configuration. Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size that fits existing panel cutouts and busbar systems for 3-pole MCCBs. The 86 mm depth leaves clearance for rear-connected busbars or cable lugs in a typical 400 mm deep enclosure. Power loss is 3.1 W maximum at rated current, which is negligible for thermal derating in a sealed panel.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-8HK32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, ETU34","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-8HK32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 3-pole, ETU340 electronic trip unit. 440 kA at 240 V.

The -8HM32-0AA0 variant carries a different trip unit or accessory configuration — the exact trip curve or auxiliary contact set differs. They share the same physical footprint and busbar connection pattern, so one can replace the other in the same panel if the trip settings are verified against the load."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2163-8HK32-0AA0","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/3VA2163-8HK32-0AA0 when reusing this data.
