The ETU350 electronic trip unit gives adjustable long-time (tr 0.5–17 s) and short-time delay (tsd up to 0.4 s) for selective coordination downstream. ## Trip unit and coordination The ETU350 electronic release provides LSI protection: long-time (tr), short-time (tsd with I²t on/off), and instantaneous. Adjustable tr from 0.5 to 17 seconds lets you ride through motor inrush without nuisance trips. Short-time delay adjustable up to 0.4 s enables zone-selective interlocking with downstream breakers. Power loss is 3.1 W maximum, negligible for panel thermal budgeting.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-8HN36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 3-Pole, ETU35","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2163-8HN36-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker. 63 A, 3-pole, ETU350 release. 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V.

The difference is the trip unit: the -8HN36-0AA0 carries the ETU350 electronic release, while the -8HM32-0AA0 uses a different release variant. No rewiring needed for the same bus and lug arrangement, but verify the trip curve settings match your coordination study."},{"question":"What is the interrupting capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?","answer":"330 kA at 415 V, and the same 330 kA at 440 V.
