The Siemens 3VA1163-5MH36-0JH0 is a 3-pole IEC frame 160 MCCB with a 55 kA breaking capacity at 415 V AC — class M, meaning it handles moderate fault levels typical of industrial distribution and motor branch circuits without needing a current-limiting upstream device. Rated In of 63 A with a TM120M thermal-magnetic release, but configured for starter protection: the thermal overload element is omitted (no overload protection), leaving only the magnetic short-circuit pickup adjustable from 5 to 15× In. That makes it a magnetic-only breaker for motor short-circuit protection where a separate overload relay handles the thermal trip. The shunt trip (STL) operates on 110–127 V DC or AC 50/60 Hz, letting a remote emergency-stop or PLC output drop the breaker without manual intervention. Clamp terminals accept standard copper conductors without lug kits.

Frequently asked questions
What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB?
Icu is 55 kA at 415 V AC, class M on the IEC frame 160 platform — suitable for moderate fault-level industrial distribution.
Where can I buy 3VA1163-5MH36-0JH0 and get a price?
Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
Does this breaker include overload protection?
No — the TM120M release is configured for starter protection with the thermal element omitted. Short-circuit pickup is adjustable 5–15× In; a separate overload relay handles motor thermal protection.
