Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SQ2560-0KA25 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker configured as 1P+N — it switches the live conductor and switches the neutral, with overcurrent protection on the phase only. The 3 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 at 240 V AC covers standard domestic supply fault levels; for higher prospective short-circuit currents you'd step up to a higher-rated SENTRON variant.

B-curve trip: magnetic release between 3 and 5 times rated current (75–125 A for this 25 A unit). That suits cable protection and general-purpose loads with no heavy motor start — lighting, socket outlets, control transformers. The 1P+N pole count means it occupies 2 width units (36 mm on a standard DIN rail) and includes a switched neutral, which is required in some regional wiring regulations for single-phase final circuits. Overvoltage category 3 and energy limiting class 3 confirm it's designed for fixed-installation downstream of the utility meter, not for equipment-level protection.

Panel integration

Installation depth is 55 mm, which fits standard distribution board enclosures. Neutral conductor switching is built in, so no external neutral link is needed downstream of the breaker.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SQ2560-0KA25?

3 kA per EN 60898 at 240 V AC. That covers standard domestic and light commercial fault levels; for higher SCCR requirements, a different SENTRON variant with a higher breaking capacity would be needed.

What does 1P+N mean on this breaker?

1P+N means the breaker switches both the phase and neutral conductors, but overcurrent protection is on the phase only — the neutral pole is a switched neutral, not a protected pole. It occupies 2 width units on the DIN rail.

Where can I buy 5SQ2560-0KA25?
