Siemens 3VA2163-5HL32-0DA0 — SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, Line Protection with UVR
The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5HL32-0DA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for line protection, carrying a continuous current rating of 63 A across the full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C without derating — a practical advantage for densely packed panels where heat buildup is a concern. Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — the high 240 V figure gives substantial fault-clearing headroom on 208/240 V distribution, while the 690 V rating confirms it's not intended for 690 V motor circuits (use a 3VA2 with higher 690 V SCCR for that). Mounts in a standard panel footprint: 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — dimensions shared across the 3VA2 frame, meaning a panel cut for a sibling like 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 accepts this unit without rework.
Sourcing & Lifecycle — Active Production, Quoted to Order
The part carries a rated insulation voltage of 800 V, power loss of 6.5 W maximum, and an operating temperature range of -25 °C to 70 °C.
Panel Fit & Integration — Same Frame as 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0
The 3VA2163-5HL32-0DA0 shares the same 105 mm width, 181 mm height, and 86 mm depth as the 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 — they are the same mechanical frame. A panel drilled for the -8HM32 variant accepts this unit with no busbar or mounting-footprint changes. If your BOM specifies UVR functionality, this is the direct fit; if not, verify the trip coordination study before swapping.
