The communication function (likely PROFIBUS or PROFINET via a communication module) lets the breaker report status and trip events to a PLC or SCADA — useful for remote diagnostics on a production line. Maximum power dissipation is 6.5 W. ## Temperature derating and ambient limits Above 50 °C it steps down: 60.6 A at 55 °C, 58.3 A at 60 °C, 55.9 A at 65 °C, and 53.6 A at 70 °C. The interrupting capacity varies with system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. For a 480 V panel, you're looking at roughly 100 kA class — sufficient for most industrial service entrances and distribution boards.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2163-5JP32-0BL0 SENTRON MCCB, 63 A, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5JP32-0BL0 molded case circuit breaker, 63 A rated, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
