Integrator's spec recap — 3VA2163-6HN36-0JL0
The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN36-0JL0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full -25 °C to 70 °C operating range — no derating needed up to 70 °C ambient. Breaking capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. That SCCR headroom covers most industrial distribution panels without cascading upstream. Dimensions are 86 mm depth × 105 mm width × 181 mm height.
Sourcing & lifecycle — current production, quoted to order
Power loss is 4 W maximum.
Panel integration — footprint and wiring
The 3-pole design with shunt trip requires a control circuit for the STL coil — verify polarity and voltage before energizing. No communication module on board — this is a hardwired breaker. The trip indicator gives local visual status; remote indication relies on the auxiliary switch wiring.
