Automatic circuit breaker, Series 5SY4, 10 kA, B, C, and D. Siemens miniature circuit breakers offer the highest quality and reliability. With the excellent technical features of these devices, you are always on the safe side. Additionally, you benefit from innovative mounting options that allow for quick and easy installation. Siemens miniature circuit breakers can be combined as needed with a variety of additional components, such as control circuit switches, fault signal contacts, shunt releases, undervoltage releases, remote control mechanisms, or with RCD units for protection of persons and against fire.

Features and Benefits: Automatic tripping, 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-pole, DIN rail mounting. Suitable for use in industry and in the functional and residential construction sectors. Supports quick and convenient removal from the assembly.

Standards: IEC 60898 – Relates to low-voltage circuit breakers for use in households and similar installations. Traditionally known as MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) in the UK.

Q: What are the differences in the tripping curves B, C, and D?
A: Curve B: Tripping: 3 to 5 times the rated current. Applications: Protection of generators, persons, very long cables. Curve C: Tripping: 5 to 10 times the rated current. Applications: Protection of circuits and general applications. Curve D: Tripping: 10 to 14 times the rated current. Applications: Protection of high-voltage circuits, welders, transformers, and motors.
