Breaking capacity is 6 kA per EN 60898, and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 — sufficient for most commercial and light industrial distribution boards where the prospective fault current stays under those thresholds. The 6 A rating holds at 35 °C. At 40 °C it derates to 5.51 A, at 45 °C to 5.25 A, at 50 °C to 4.97 A, and at 55 °C to 4.69 A. If your panel runs hot — near a drive or transformer — apply the derating curve to avoid nuisance tripping at rated load. The breaker survives ambient from -40 °C to 75 °C, with humidity limits of 95% up to 55 °C, tapering to 35% at 75 °C. Combined terminals top and bottom simplify daisy-chaining busbars. The neutral conductor is switched internally (1P+N design), so no separate neutral pole is needed — saves a module width compared to a 2-pole breaker with unswitched neutral.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SY6506-8CC SENTRON MCB, D-curve 6A 1P+N, 6kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SY6506-8CC SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, D tripping characteristic, 6 A rated, 1P+N, 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898.
