The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2163-5KP32-0CC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection, carrying 63 A continuous current (Iu) through the full 40 °C to 50 °C ambient range before any derating kicks in — at 55 °C it still holds 60.6 A, and at 70 °C it's good for 53.6 A. The interrupting capacity is the headline: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V.
Trip unit, releases, and auxiliaries
The auxiliary contact block is configured as 2 auxiliary switches (HQ type), and the breaker is communication-capable, meaning it can integrate with a BMS or PLC for remote monitoring and trip indication. There is no voltage trigger or phase failure detection on this variant.
Power loss is 6.5 W maximum, so ventilation in a sealed cabinet is manageable.
