That's a no-dial, no-tamper setup: what you see on the nameplate is what the branch circuit gets. Breaking capacity class N gives it 53 kA at 240 V AC and 7.5 kA at 415 V AC — enough to handle high-fault utility feeds in a lighting panel or a distribution subboard, but the 415 V number tells you this is a 240 V-optimized pole. If your panel's service voltage sits at 400/415 V three-phase, the 7.5 kA SCCR is the number that governs coordination; don't spec it into a 65 kA@415 V main without checking the upstream breaker's let-through. Above that it starts to step down: 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C. If your enclosure sits near a heat source or in a non-ventilated cabinet, use the 55 °C row as your design-in point — that's where the margin starts to shrink. ## Physical integration and connections Front-connected box terminals accept the main circuit conductors. The 1-pole form factor fits standard DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures; No auxiliary contacts are fitted (0 CO contacts), and the neutral conductor is not switchable or retrofittable — this pole handles the phase only. No communication function, no motor drive option, no ground-fault monitoring built in.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1163-3ED16-0AA2 SENTRON MCCB, 1-pole, 63 A, 53 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VM1163-3ED16-0AA2 SENTRON 3VM1 molded case circuit breaker, 1-pole, 63 A, 53 kA at 240 V, 7.5 kA at 415 V, line protection, current production, available to order.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)"],"specifications":{"title":"3VM1163-3ED16-0AA2","at 240 V":"53 kA","at 415 V":"7.5 kA","at 40 °C":"63 A","at 45 °C":"63 A","at 50 °C":"63 A","at 55 °C":"62 A","at 60 °C":"61 A","at 65 °C":"60 A","at 70 °C":"58 A","description":"circuit breaker 3VM1 IEC frame 160 breaking capacity class N Icu=25kA @ 240V 1-pole, line protection TM210, FTFM, In=63A overload protection Ir=63A, not adjustable short-circuit protection Ii=10 x In terminal connection","Number of poles":"1","Product version":"Line protection","lifecycle_stage":"current","Product brand name":"SENTRON","Product designation":"Molded case circuit breaker","Communication Function":"No","During Storage / Maximum":"80 °C","During Storage / Minimum":"-40 °C","Power loss [W] / maximum":"5.8 W","During Operation / Maximum":"70 °C","During Operation / Minimum":"-25 °C","Other Measurement Function":"No","Rated continuous current Iu":"63 A","Rated insulation voltage Ui":"500 V","Ground fault monitoring version":"Without","Design of the overcurrent release":"TM210","Protection class IP / on the front":"IP40","Reference code / acc. to DIN EN 81346-2":"Q","Max. rated operational voltage Ue with DC":"500 V","Product extension / optional / motor drive":"No","Neutral conductors / upgradeable/retrofittable":"No","Number of CO contacts / for auxiliary contacts":"0","Protective function of the overcurrent release":"LI","Switching capacity class of the circuit breaker":"N","Max. rated operational current of the frame size":"160 A","Max. rated operational voltage Ue with AC 50/60Hz":"500 V","Type of electrical connection / for main current circuit":"box terminal","Arrangement of electrical connectors / for main current circuit":"Front connection"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/062f3aac021d2a63afaa57f8f1129f30.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=682831&mlfb=3VM1163-3ED16-0AA2"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 3VM1163-3ED16-0AA2 and how is it quoted?","answer":"We source this part to order against an RFQ through our industrial-automation distribution channel.
