Product details

Its C-curve tripping characteristic means it handles moderate inrush currents — typical for motor starters, lighting banks, and transformer-fed loads — without nuisance trips, while still clearing short circuits within the rated breaking capacity. Frequency is fixed at 50 Hz — not dual-rated for 60 Hz, so verify if the installation runs on 60 Hz supply. On the DC side, rated at 72 V maximum — suitable for control circuits in that voltage range, but not for higher DC bus voltages common in VFD or battery systems.

Occupies 3 modular width units (54 mm) on a DIN rail, with a depth of 76 mm and an installation depth of 70 mm — fits standard SENTRON distribution boards and most third-party enclosures with 70+ mm internal depth. Accepts solid conductors up to 35 mm² — enough for the incoming supply on a 3-pole circuit feeding a sub-distribution board or a large motor load.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SN6320-8CP?

Dual-rated: 6 kA per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2, both at 400 V AC. The 15 kA IEC rating is the one that applies in industrial panels with higher prospective fault current.

Will 5SN6320-8CP drop into a panel specified for 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?

Yes, the 5SN6320-8CP and the peer 5SL4363-7 share the same footprint: 76 mm depth, 54 mm width (3 modular units), 90 mm height, and 70 mm installation depth. The 5SN6320-8CP has a lower breaking capacity (6 kA vs 10 kA per EN 60898; 15 kA vs 10 kA per IEC 60947-2), so verify the fault level at the installation point before substituting.
