The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5MN32-0HC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed specifically for motor protection, rated at 63 A continuously from 40 °C up to 70 °C without derating — meaning it holds its full current rating across the typical panel ambient range, so you don't have to oversize for a hot enclosure.
At 415 V it interrupts 121 kA, and at 240 V it handles 187 kA — figures that put it comfortably in the high-fault category for industrial distribution.
Motor protection features
This MCCB includes phase failure detection and a shunt trip (STL) release, plus two auxiliary switches HQ for remote status feedback — all factory-integrated, so you don't add separate modules on the DIN rail. It is designed as a motor protection device, meaning the trip curve and thermal memory are tuned for motor starting inrush and overload profiles, not just cable protection.
