The SENTRON 3VA2163-6HN32-0BC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 63 A continuous across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. That 63 A holds steady at every temperature step, so you can populate a warm cabinet without recalculating the main feeder. Interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V, and still 121 kA at 500 V — numbers that put this squarely in high-fault-duty switchgear. This is a straight line-protection breaker, not a smart breaker.
