MCCB for high-current line protection
The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2463-6KP32-0DC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 630 A continuous current at 40 °C, with a maximum breaking capacity of 242 kA at 240 V AC.
Breaking capacity and derating
Breaking capacity varies with system voltage: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 9 kA at 690 V. The continuous current rating derates with ambient temperature — from 630 A at 40 °C down to 450 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 164.5 W.
The 3-pole footprint is standard for this class; the auxiliary switches and UVR are factory-installed, so no additional wiring for those functions is needed during panel assembly.
