Product details

What this 4-pole MCB brings to the panel

It's rated 400 V AC at 50 Hz and carries two breaking capacity figures: 6 kA per EN 60898 for residential and light commercial branch circuits, and 30 kA per IEC 60947-2 for industrial panel coordination. The C-curve (trips at 5–10× rated current) is standard for motor and transformer loads with moderate inrush — common in conveyor drives, pump panels, and small machine tools.

The 6 kA per EN 60898 covers standard residential/commercial duty; if your panel SCCR requirement is above 6 kA, the 30 kA figure is your proof point. Multi-phase and single-phase operation both max out at 440 V AC, so it handles 400 V line-to-line plus a 10% tolerance headroom. DC rated at 72 V maximum — useful if you're switching a DC control bus, but not a main DC traction breaker. Conductor cross-section up to 35 mm² solid — that's enough for a 50 A or 63 A feed on the line side, well above typical MCB terminal capacity. Mechanical service life of 10 000 operating cycles — standard for this class, and fine for a panel that sees daily switching.

Width is 72 mm (4 modular units). Standard DIN-rail mount — clips on, no tools. The 70 mm installation depth means it clears most shallow enclosures; check your back-of-panel clearance against that figure, not the 76 mm overall depth (the extra 6 mm is the front toggle overhang).

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SN6404-8CP and get a price?

We source and quote it to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ through the page.

Will 5SN6404-8CP drop into a panel specified around 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?

Not without a wiring change. The 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole unit (54 mm wide, 3 MW), while the 5SN6404-8CP is 4-pole (72 mm wide, 4 MW). Same 76 mm depth and 90 mm height, but you need an extra 18 mm of DIN-rail space and a fourth conductor connection. If the original panel had a 3-pole breaker feeding a 3-phase load with no neutral switching, the 4-pole unit adds a switched neutral — verify if that's required or acceptable.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SN6404-8CP?

The 5SN series carries IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 certifications. For RoHS, REACH, and specific UL/CSA documentation, request the manufacturer's declaration of conformity with your RFQ — it's typically available as a digital download from Siemens' support portal.
