Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN36-0BL0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current across the full operating temperature range of -25 °C to 70 °C, with no derating needed from 40 °C up to 70 °C. That means it holds its full 63 A rating in a warm cabinet — a practical advantage when the panel's internal ambient runs high. Interrupting capacity is the headline here: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. At 690 V the drop to 3.7 kA tells you this is not a 690 V workhorse; it's optimized for the 240–500 V range where the interrupting numbers are substantial. The basic switch is order code 3VA2163-6HN36-0AA0, so if you're replacing that base unit, this is the drop-in with the UVR and alarm contacts already populated.

The 105 mm width is a 3-pole frame size; check your DIN-rail or mounting-plate layout against that width before committing.

What it's designed to protect

Product designation is line protection — this is a feeder or main breaker for protecting cable and bus, not a motor-protective device. The trip indicator is present, and there is no ground-fault monitoring version. If you need GF protection, this is not the variant; look at the 3VA2 with ground-fault option.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2163-6HN36-0BL0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What are the key ratings for 3VA2163-6HN36-0BL0?

63 A continuous current (no derating from 40 °C to 70 °C), 3-pole, interrupting capacity of 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. Includes undervoltage release and auxiliary/alarm switches.

Will 3VA2163-6HN36-0BL0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same frame size, so the mounting footprint and bus connections are identical. The difference is in the internal trip unit and accessories — the -6HN36-0BL0 carries a UVR and specific alarm switch configuration. No rewiring needed for the basic power connections, but verify the control wiring for the UVR and auxiliary contacts matches your schematic.
