The 3VA2163-6HL36-0KC0: Footprint is 105 mm wide by 181 mm tall by 86 mm deep — that's about 4.13 by 7.13 by 3.39 inches.
That headroom makes it a strong choice for main or tie breakers where fault current is high — you get selectivity without oversizing the frame. At 690 V it still interrupts 3.7 kA, which covers most motor-circuit faults at that voltage.
Current production. Standard catalog item quoted to order through independent distribution.
Yes, it comes with a shunt trip (STL) and two auxiliary switches HQ built in.
