It switches both AC and DC circuits — the AC/DC voltage type means it can protect a DC control bus or an AC distribution feeder without a separate DC-rated breaker. With a 55 mm installation depth and 3 width units (about 54 mm on a standard DIN rail), this breaker drops into a SENTRON distribution board or any 35 mm DIN-rail enclosure. Overvoltage category 3 suits fixed-installation distribution boards where the breaker sees transient overvoltages from the utility side. ## What the approvals mean for compliance The 3 kA breaking capacity is rated per EN 60898, the harmonized European standard for MCBs in household and similar installations. This breaker carries that rating, so it meets the minimum short-circuit performance expected in a 400 V distribution board. Overvoltage category 3 and energy limiting class 3 are both defined under IEC 60947-2 — the breaker coordinates with downstream equipment to limit thermal and magnetic stress during a fault.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 5SQ2370-0KA08 Circuit Breaker, 3-Pole, C, 8A, 3kA","metaDescription":"SENTRON 5SQ2370-0KA08 circuit breaker, 3-pole, C-curve, 8 A, 3 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898, 400 V AC, IP20.

It drops into the same panel footprint — same 55 mm depth and 3 width units — but the current rating differs, so verify the load before substituting."},{"question":"Where can I buy 5SQ2370-0KA08 and how is it quoted?","answer":"This breaker is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution.

No rewiring is needed for the panel layout, but the 8 A rating of 5SQ2370-0KA08 is double the 4 A of 5SQ2370-2YA04, so the downstream load must be rated for 8 A."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/5SQ2370-0KA08","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/5SQ2370-0KA08 when reusing this data.
