Product details

The Siemens 5SL6463-6RC is a SENTRON 5SL6 miniature circuit breaker rated 63 A with B tripping characteristic, 4 poles, and a 7.5 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898. It's designed for residential and infrastructure branch-circuit protection on 415 V AC three-phase systems.

The B characteristic means magnetic trip occurs at 3–5× In (189–315 A), so it won't nuisance-trip on moderate motor starts but will clear a hard short fast. Four poles let you switch all three phases plus neutral in a single unit, though the neutral conductor is not switched internally — it's a 4-pole breaker with solid-neutral switching. The 415 V AC rated supply voltage matches standard three-phase European distribution; single-phase operation is rated at 250 V AC per pole. Maximum voltage in multi-phase operation is 440 V AC, giving a bit of headroom on a nominal 400 V system. For the panel builder, the 72 mm width (4 width units at 18 mm each) and 76 mm depth mean it occupies standard DIN-rail space; the 70 mm installation depth accounts for the busbar and wiring behind the rail. Mounting position is any, so vertical or horizontal panel layouts work.

Where it goes in the panel

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SL6463-6RC?

7.5 kA rated value per EN 60898. That's the maximum prospective fault current it can safely interrupt at rated voltage.

What does the B characteristic mean on this MCB?

The B curve trips magnetically at 3 to 5 times the rated current (189–315 A for the 63 A version). It's suited for resistive and general-purpose loads with low inrush — lighting, heaters, distribution subfeeds — rather than motor circuits that draw higher starting current.

Where can I buy the 5SL6463-6RC and get current pricing?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead-time estimate.

Will the 5SL6463-6RC drop into a panel designed for the 5SL6132-6MB?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 5SL6 breakers with the same 72 mm width (4 width units) and 76 mm depth, so the physical footprint is identical. The difference is rating: the 5SL6463-6RC is 63 A B-curve, while the 5SL6132-6MB is a different current/curve variant. No rewiring for fit, but verify the branch-circuit ampacity and coordination study supports the higher 63 A rating.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCB?

The 5SL6463-6RC carries EN 60898 certification for the 7.5 kA breaking capacity. It's designed for pollution degree 2 and overvoltage category III per IEC standards. For RoHS, REACH, and specific UL/CSA documentation, request the manufacturer's declaration of conformity — these are typically provided with the shipment or on request.
