Product details

It breaks fault currents up to 10 kA per EN 60898 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC.

Installation depth is 70 mm, which matches the common SENTRON 5SL/5SP envelope — no extra clearance needed behind the panel door. Tunnel terminals top and bottom accept copper conductors without bootlace ferrules for routine wiring.

Frequently asked questions

Will 5SP4240-8 drop into a panel specified around 5SL4120-7CC?

Mechanically yes — same 70 mm depth, same DIN-rail mount. Electrically no: the 5SP4240-8 is 2-pole, 40 A, D-curve, while the 5SL4120-7CC is 1-pole, 20 A, C-curve. The wiring and load calculations are different.
