Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 76 kA at 440 V, tapering to 17 kA at 500 V — meaning it can clear a fault at those levels without upstream coordination failure. Current rating holds at 63 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C — a gentle slope that keeps the part viable in warm enclosures without oversizing. The 101.6 mm width (4 in) and 70 mm depth (2.8 in) fit standard 4-pole MCCB mounting footprints; front IP40 protection handles typical panel environments. Maximum power loss is 17 W, manageable for thermal budgeting in a crowded DIN-rail or backplate layout.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1163-5GE42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1163-5GE42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 63 A rated at 40 °C, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
