The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5JP32-0CL0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 63 A continuous current across the full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. That 63 A holds at every 5 °C increment, per the datasheet, so it suits a panel running warm without a capacity haircut. Breaking capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, stepping down to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. That 187 kA figure at 240 V covers high-fault utility feeds; the 121 kA at 415 V is the number to coordinate with downstream gear on a 400 V distribution bus.
