Rated at 10 kA per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2, this breaker safely interrupts fault currents up to those levels at 400 V AC. The higher IEC rating applies when the breaker is used in industrial distribution (IEC 60947-2 scope); the EN 60898 rating covers residential/commercial installations. On the DC side, it is rated for 60 V — enough for control-circuit protection in 48 V or 60 V DC bus systems. The insulation voltage (Ui) is 440 V AC, confirming the breaker is suitable for 400 V line-to-line systems with adequate margin.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the breaking capacity of 5SJ4140-8HG40?
It is rated 10 kA per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC, with a DC rating of 60 V.
What does the D characteristic mean for this breaker?
The D curve allows higher inrush currents (typically 10–20 times rated current) before tripping, making it suitable for motor, transformer, and welding loads that draw a high start-up surge.
Where can I buy 5SJ4140-8HG40 and get current pricing?
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm quote.
What is the width and depth of 5SJ4140-8HG40?
Width is 18 mm (one modular unit), depth is 70 mm, height is 90 mm — standard dimensions for a 1-pole DIN-rail MCB.
