The Siemens 3VA2163-5JP32-0BL0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 63 A continuous current at 40 °C, with an interrupting capacity of 187 kA at 240 V AC — enough to handle high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without cascading upstream. 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.
