Product details

The SENTRON 5SQ2170-0KA15 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 15 A at 240 V AC, with a C tripping characteristic and a 3 kA breaking capacity verified to EN 60898. The C-curve means it trips between 5 and 10 times rated current, so it handles moderate inrush from small motor or lighting loads without nuisance tripping, but clears a hard short fast enough for the 3 kA fault level.

No neutral pole to switch; this is a line-side only break.

The 3 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 is the rated short-circuit capacity for this MCB at 240 V AC — it will safely interrupt a fault current up to 3 kA without welding contacts or cascading failure upstream. The overvoltage category 3 rating means it's suitable for fixed-installation distribution boards, not just final circuits. Energy limiting class 3 indicates it restricts let-through energy during a fault, which helps with downstream coordination.

Frequently asked questions

What is the rated current and breaking capacity of 5SQ2170-0KA15?

Rated current is 15 A at 240 V AC, with a 3 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898. Tripping characteristic is C-curve (5–10x In).

Where can I buy 5SQ2170-0KA15 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your quantity.

Will 5SQ2170-0KA15 drop into a panel specified for 5SQ2170-2YA15?

Yes — both are 1-pole SENTRON 5SQ breakers with the same 55 mm depth and single width-unit footprint. The 2YA15 is a 1.6 A C-curve variant; the 0KA15 is 15 A. Same mechanical fit, same DIN-rail mounting, same terminal layout. No rewiring needed for the panel itself, just verify the ampacity matches the circuit.
