MCCB for line protection — 63 A, 220 kA interrupting capacity
The Siemens 3VA1163-6EF32-0AB0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous at 40 °C, with a 3-pole configuration and a maximum interrupting capacity of 220 kA at 240 V. This is the line-protection variant — designed for feeder and main breaker duty in distribution panels, not for motor branch-circuit protection. The interrupting rating at 415 V (154 kA) and 440 V (121 kA) still covers high-fault industrial services; at 500 V and 690 V the rating drops to 17 kA, which still suits most secondary distribution.
