The Siemens 3VA1163-4EF36-0CH0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated 63 A continuous at 40 °C, with a short-circuit breaking capacity of 121 kA at 240 V AC. The 63 A rating holds steady from 40 °C up to 50 °C (still 63 A), then derates to 62 A at 55 °C, 61 A at 60 °C, 60 A at 65 °C, and 58 A at 70 °C — so if your enclosure runs hot, you lose only about 8% at the top end. The 3-pole design and line-protection tuning (thermal-magnetic trip curve for cable and busbar protection) make this a straight fit for main or feeder duty in a distribution panel. Breaking capacity drops with voltage: 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.
Built-in undervoltage release and auxiliary switch complement
A trip indicator is present on the front face, so a walk-by inspection catches a tripped state without opening the panel door.
The 3VA1163-4EF36-0CH0 measures 76.2 mm wide (3 in), 130 mm tall (5.12 in), and 70 mm deep (2.76 in).
