SENTRON 3VA2063-5KP32-0CH0 — 63 A MCCB with 187 kA Interrupting Capacity
The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2063-5KP32-0CH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed in a warm panel. The auxiliary switch block carries 2 auxiliary switches plus a separate trip alarm switch (HQ type), giving three discrete signal paths for PLC or SCADA input.
Coordination Notes
The 63 A frame with 187 kA SCCR at 240 V gives strong selectivity headroom downstream — you can size branch breakers down to 15 A without worrying about nuisance trip coordination on a high-fault transformer secondary. For a 690 V line (rare in industrial distribution but common in mining or wind), the breaking capacity drops to 3 kA — verify the available fault current before specifying in a 690 V system.
