The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN36-0KH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. Breaking capacity is 242 kA at 240 V, dropping to 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — so it handles high fault currents on low-voltage mains but is not a 690 V workhorse.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 3VA2163-6HN36-0KH0 and how do I get a price?
Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.
What is 3VA2163-6HN36-0KH0's listed depth (86 mm) on this component line?
The listed depth is 86 mm (3.39 in).
What is 3VA2163-6HN36-0KH0's listed width (105 mm) on this component line?
The listed width is 105 mm (4.13 in).
Will 3VA2163-6HN36-0KH0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?
Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same physical envelope (105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep), so the footprint is identical. The 3VA2163-6HN36-0KH0 carries a 63 A continuous rating versus the 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0's lower rating — verify the load current and the shunt trip wiring match before swapping.
