Product details

The 3VA2163-6HN36-0BC0 is a Siemens SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full 40 °C to 70 °C ambient range — no derating needed up to 70 °C. That's unusual; most MCCBs start derating above 40 °C. At 415 V and 440 V it still holds 187 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA — so on a 690 V system the upstream fuse or breaker still needs to handle the heavy lifting. The basic switch variant is 3VA2163-6HN36-0AA0; the -0BC0 suffix adds the UVR and aux switches as a factory-assembled package.

Dimensions are 181 mm high, 105 mm wide, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that drops into most Siemens SENTRON distribution panels and third-party enclosures with a 105 mm wide mounting cutout. The 6.5 W maximum power loss means it won't cook adjacent devices in a sealed enclosure, but still account for it in the thermal budget if you're packing the panel tight.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 240 V?

242 kA at 240 V AC, which is exceptionally high for a 63 A frame — it can handle virtually any fault level found in a low-voltage distribution panel.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it comes with a factory-installed undervoltage release (UVR) plus two HQ auxiliary switches, all integrated in the -0BC0 variant.

Where can I buy 3VA2163-6HN36-0BC0 and how is it quoted?
