Product details

Siemens 5SY7163-7 SENTRON MCB — 1-pole, C-curve, 63 A

It breaks 15 kA per EN 60898 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 50/60 Hz — the higher figure matters when the panel is specified to IEC 60947-2 for industrial motor circuits rather than the residential EN 60898 standard. Energy limitation class 3 keeps let-through energy low, protecting downstream wiring and loads. Rated current derates with ambient temperature: 59.16 A at 40 °C, 57.14 A at 45 °C, 55.06 A at 50 °C, 52.92 A at 55 °C, 50.65 A at 60 °C. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction; sealable with a lead or tag for lockout/tagout compliance. Supply cord position is any — no orientation restriction in the panel.

The part is designed for mechanical engineering and general industrial use per the manufacturer's suitability listing. Compliance documentation (RoHS, REACH, CE) is available with the shipment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY7163-7?

15 kA per EN 60898 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 50/60 Hz. The IEC 60947-2 figure governs when the breaker is used in industrial motor circuits rather than residential distribution.

What is the temperature derating for 5SY7163-7?

At 35 °C the rated current is 63 A. It derates to 59.16 A at 40 °C, 57.14 A at 45 °C, 55.06 A at 50 °C, 52.92 A at 55 °C, and 50.65 A at 60 °C. Size the breaker for the actual ambient, not the nameplate.

Where can I buy 5SY7163-7 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Does 5SY7163-7 drop into a panel specified for 5SY4140-7?

Both are 1-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same 18 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so the mechanical fit is the same. The 5SY7163-7 is a 63 A C-curve; the 5SY4140-7 is a different rating and curve — check the load current and trip characteristic before substituting.
