The interrupting capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V AC, 76 kA at 415 V, 53 kA at 440 V, and 12 kA at 500 V — numbers that matter for high-fault service entrances or large motor branch circuits where the available fault current is substantial. The TM220 thermal-magnetic release gives you an adjustable long-time pickup up to 630 A, so this breaker can be tuned to the load without swapping out the whole unit. IP40 on the front keeps finger-sized objects out but isn't sealed against washdown — it's fine inside a dry enclosure, not out in the weather.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1163-4EE42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63A 4-Pole, 121kA a","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1163-4EE42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A, 4-pole, 121 kA at 240 V AC.
