Breaking capacity sits at 4.5 kA per EN 60898 and 6 kA per IEC 60947-2, with a 5 kA rating under UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235 — enough for most commercial and light-industrial panelboards where the available fault current stays under those numbers. The 2-pole format (2 width units, 36 mm wide) mounts on a DIN rail via the quick-assembly system, installs in any position, and accepts solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 to 35 mm² at both top and bottom combined terminals. The 63 A C-curve is the headline: C-curve trips magnetically between 5 and 10 times rated current, so a 63 A breaker holds a 315–630 A inrush before instantaneous trip — right for motor feeders and transformer primaries. If your load is purely resistive (heaters, lighting), a B-curve sibling would give tighter protection, but for mixed loads this is the standard. The 4.5 kA per EN 60898 is the domestic/commercial rating; the 6 kA per IEC 60947-2 is the industrial rating — the breaker is certified to both, so it fits either spec environment. The 15 kA DC rating per IEC 60947-2 (at 72 V DC max) is worth noting if you're using it in a DC sub-distribution board. ## Integration notes DIN-rail mount via quick-assembly system — snaps on without tools, clips off with a screwdriver. Sealable with a lead seal or sticker — useful for utility metering or rental panels where tamper evidence is required.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SY3263-7 SENTRON MCB, 63A 2P C-Curve 400V AC","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SY3263-7 SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 63 A, 2-pole, C-curve, 400 V AC. 4.5 kA (EN 60898) / 6 kA (IEC 60947-2).
