The Siemens 3VA2163-7HN36-0AA0 is a SENTRON 3VA molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current, with an interrupting capacity of 330 kA at 240 V — that's the short-circuit rating that decides whether this breaker clears a fault upstream or lets it cascade to the transformer. It's a 3-pole, line-protection design with an ETU350 electronic overcurrent release, which means the trip curve is adjustable and more precise than a thermal-magnetic on high-fault installations.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 3VA2163-7HN36-0AA0 and how do I get a price?
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request and you'll get current pricing and lead time at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.
What is 3VA2163-7HN36-0AA0's interrupting capacity at 240 V?
330 kA at 240 V — that's the highest short-circuit rating in this SENTRON 3VA family, sized for high-fault locations close to the transformer.
Will 3VA2163-7HN36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 without rewiring?
Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA breakers in the same frame size, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar centers are identical — no rewiring needed for the drop-in. The difference is the trip unit and rating: the -7HN36 uses an ETU350 electronic release at 63 A, while the -8HM32 carries a different electronic trip curve and amp rating. Confirm the trip settings match the protection study before swapping.
What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2163-7HN36-0AA0?
Siemens SENTRON MCCBs carry CE marking for the European market and are designed to IEC 60947-2. The manufacturer provides a Declaration of Conformity and RoHS/REACH compliance data sheets on request.
