The basic switch variant is order code 3VA2463-6KP32-0AA0.
Rating depth: current, temperature, and breaking capacity
The continuous current rating of 630 A is at 40 °C ambient. Derate linearly through the table: 600 A at 45 °C, 570 A at 50 °C, down to 450 A at 70 °C. For a panel running hot — say 50 °C ambient — plan for 570 A continuous, not the full 630 A. Breaking capacity drops 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. For a 415 V industrial feeder, the 187 kA rating gives substantial headroom over typical available fault current. The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip range spans 945 A minimum to 5 670 A maximum, giving flexibility to coordinate with downstream breakers. Maximum power loss is 162 W — factor that into enclosure ventilation.
The 110 mm depth (4.33 in) includes the breaker body; add clearance for the shunt trip wiring and auxiliary switch connections.
Built-in communication and auxiliary functions
The communication function enables remote monitoring and control — useful for a facility moving toward smart distribution or needing breaker status in a SCADA system.
