Product details

What this 4-pole MCB does in the panel

The Siemens 5SN6403-8CP is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SN family, rated 400 V AC at 50 Hz with a C-trip curve. Four poles (3P+N) in a 4-module-width housing (72 mm wide, 90 mm tall, 76 mm deep) snap onto standard DIN rail, with 70 mm installation depth behind the panel door. Terminal capacity accepts solid conductors up to 35 mm², enough for most feeder and sub-feed circuits in a distribution board.

DC operation is limited to 72 V maximum — this is not a general-purpose DC breaker for photovoltaic strings or battery banks. On the AC side, multi-phase and single-phase operation both top out at 440 V, giving you a 40 V margin above the 400 V nominal for supply variations. If you need frequent on-off cycles, look at a contactor or switch-disconnector instead.

Panel integration and environmental range

Snap-on DIN rail mounting, 4 width units (72 mm). Ambient storage range spans -40 °C to 75 °C, so it can sit in an unheated warehouse or rooftop cabinet without issue; operating temperature is typically -25 °C to 55 °C for the 5SN family.

Frequently asked questions

What are the breaking capacity ratings for 5SN6403-8CP?

6 kA according to EN 60898 for general-purpose branch circuits, and 30 kA according to IEC 60947-2 for industrial panel coordination — both at 400 V AC.

Will 5SN6403-8CP drop into a panel specified around 5SY5416-7 without rewiring?

Yes — both are 4-pole SENTRON MCBs with identical dimensions (76 mm depth, 72 mm width, 90 mm height), 70 mm installation depth, and 4 modular width units. The 5SN6403-8CP carries a 6 kA EN 60898 rating versus 10 kA on the 5SY5416-7, so check that the lower breaking capacity still coordinates with your upstream protection before swapping.

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SN6403-8CP?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote (RFQ) — availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SN6403-8CP?

The 5SN series carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from Siemens for current-production SENTRON MCBs.
