The Siemens 5SN6202-8CP is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SN series, rated for 400 V AC supply at 50 Hz. It carries a 6 kA interrupting capacity per EN 60898 and a 30 kA rating per IEC 60947-2, meaning it can handle fault currents up to 30 kA in industrial panels where the upstream transformer or bus can deliver that energy — the higher IEC figure is the one that governs fit in a plant-floor distribution board.
Temperature range and installation
Rated for -40 °C to 75 °C ambient, so it survives a hot panel next to a motor starter or a cold warehouse unheated section. The 70 mm installation depth and 90 mm height fit standard 8-inch deep enclosures; the 35 mm² solid conductor capacity on the terminals handles the incoming feed for a sub-distribution board.
Power loss and DC capability
For DC circuits, the breaker is rated to 72 V maximum, so it can switch a 48 V or 60 V DC control bus but not a 125 V DC battery bank.
