Product details

The Siemens 5SJ6306-7 is a SENTRON 5SJ6 miniature circuit breaker — 3-pole, C-curve, rated 6 A at 400 V AC, with a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. On a 3-pole 400 V line, that 6 kA SCCR handles most distribution panel fault levels without cascading upstream.

On a 3-phase 400 V supply, that works out to roughly 4 kW of resistive load or a 3 kW motor with C-curve headroom. The C-curve (5–10× In) gives you enough inrush margin for small motors, contactor coils, and lighting ballasts without tripping on start-up. At DC, the maximum rated voltage is 60 V — so this breaker can also serve a 48 V or 24 V DC control bus, but not a 125 V DC railway or solar string. The 50 Hz rating is the standard mains frequency; it will operate at 60 Hz without issue, but the thermal-magnetic trip curve is calibrated for 50 Hz. The temperature range is -40 to 75 °C, which covers unheated enclosures in cold climates and hot panel interiors near transformers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SJ6306-7 used for?

It's a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker with a C-curve, rated 6 A at 400 V AC, 6 kA breaking capacity. Typical applications include protecting motor circuits, transformer primaries, and lighting distribution in commercial and light industrial panels.

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SJ6306-7?

6 kA per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC. That's the standard interrupting rating for most final subcircuits in distribution boards.

Where can I buy the 5SJ6306-7?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will the 5SJ6306-7 drop into a panel specified around the 5SJ6463-7?

The 5SJ6463-7 is a 4-pole, 63 A breaker — same 5SJ6 family, same 70 mm depth, same DIN-rail footprint. The 5SJ6306-7 will physically fit the same rail and enclosure, but the pole count and current rating are different: 3-pole vs 4-pole, and 6 A vs 63 A. If the panel was wired for 4 poles and 63 A, you'd need to rewire and possibly upsize the busbar. For a direct drop-in replacement, match the pole count and current rating.
