Product details

Its 4-pole configuration (4P) switches all three phases and the neutral, though the neutral conductor is not switched internally — the 4th pole is a switched pole, not a solid neutral bar.

Rated 40 A at 400 V AC — this breaker protects a 40 A feeder or load circuit on a 400 V three-phase system (common European 230/400 V networks). If your panel's fault level is higher (e.g., industrial substations), you need a higher-rated MCB or an upstream current-limiting fuse. The C curve is the default for general-purpose loads; for purely resistive loads or long cable runs, a B curve would be more sensitive, while D curve suits high-inrush welding or drive inputs. Conductor termination accepts solid or stranded wire from 0.75 mm² up to 25 mm² via screw terminals torqued to 2.5–3 N·m. That range covers everything from a 1.5 mm² control circuit to a 25 mm² main feeder — no adapter lugs needed for the larger sizes. The 4-pole width is 4 width units (72 mm,), so it occupies four 18 mm module spaces on a DIN rail.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SN6440-7CN?

6 kA rated breaking capacity per EN 60898 at 400 V AC. This is the standard domestic/commercial interrupting rating; verify your prospective fault current is below this level.

What conductor sizes does 5SN6440-7CN accept?

Solid and stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² to 25 mm². Screw terminals with tightening torque 2.5–3 N·m.

Where can I buy 5SN6440-7CN?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commitment.

Will 5SN6440-7CN drop into a panel specified for 5SL4363-7?

Both are 4-pole C-curve MCBs in the SENTRON family, but the 5SL series uses a different housing and terminal design. The 5SN6440-7CN has a 72 mm width (4 width units) and 70 mm installation depth — verify DIN-rail alignment and busbar compatibility with your panel's existing backplane before substituting.
