The C-curve (tripping characteristic C) means the magnetic trip activates at 5 to 10 times rated current — so for a 63 A MCB, the instantaneous trip threshold sits between 315 A and 630 A. That suits loads with moderate inrush, like lighting banks, small motor circuits, and general-purpose socket outlets. If your load has high inrush (transformers, large motors), you would step up to a D-curve; for resistive-only loads, a B-curve would trip faster on minor surges. The 6 kA breaking capacity is the same under both EN 60898 (household) and IEC 60947-2 (industrial) standards, so it qualifies for either classification — no derating needed when moving between residential and light industrial panels. The 1P+N pole configuration means the neutral is switched but not monitored for overcurrent — the thermal-magnetic protection lives only on the phase pole. That is standard for single-phase final circuits where the neutral is bonded at the transformer; if you need full protection on both poles (for a two-phase load or an IT system), you would need a 2P MCB instead. The neutral conductor switching feature is explicitly listed, so the neutral pole opens and closes with the phase — useful for isolation during maintenance. Terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 25 mm², with a tightening torque of 2.5 to 3 N·m. That 25 mm² upper end is generous for a 63 A breaker — it lets you land the incoming feed with a 4 mm² or 6 mm² cable and still have headroom for parallel feeds if needed. The IP20 rating is typical for DIN-rail components inside an enclosed panel; it provides finger-safe touch protection on the front, but the terminals are only protected when conductors are connected. The housing is 36 mm wide (2 width units at 18 mm each), 90 mm tall, and 76 mm deep.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL6563-7BB SENTRON MCB, 2-pole 63A C-curve, 6kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SL6563-7BB SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 2-pole 1P+N, 63 A, C characteristic, 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.
