Siemens SENTRON 5SN6310-8CN — 3-pole D-curve MCB, 10 A, 6 kA
D-curve trip thresholds (10–20× In for instantaneous) avoid nuisance trips on motor start or capacitor bank inrush, but also mean longer trip times on moderate overloads — coordination with downstream loads matters. Rated for 50 Hz AC only, with a maximum operating voltage of 440 V in multi-phase operation. Three poles (3P, no switched neutral) suit a three-phase load or a three-phase supply with separate neutral bar. Ambient temperature range -40 to +75 °C, with periodic +55 °C / 95% humidity influence noted. Mount in any position, installation depth 70 mm.
Panel integration and compliance
Snap-on mounting for standard DIN-rail enclosures. 3 width units (54 mm wide) fit a 3-pole breaker in a cutout row. Touch protection is integral. Pollution degree 2, overvoltage category III — the usual spec for fixed-installation switchgear. Sealable (yes) allows lockout/tagout on the toggle.
