At 8 A rated current and 3 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898, it safely interrupts a fault up to 3 kA at 240 V AC — enough for most residential and light commercial sub-distribution boards, but check your prospective short-circuit current (PSCC) at the point of installation. The 55 mm installation depth and 2 width units (about 36 mm on a standard DIN rail) mean it slots into the same cutout as other SENTRON 5SQ breakers — no panel rework if you're swapping a same-series unit.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 5SQ2570-0KA08 and get a price?
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.
What is the number of poles on 5SQ2570-0KA08?
It is a 2-pole device wired as 1P+N — one pole switches the line conductor, the other switches the neutral. The neutral pole is switched but not protected against overcurrent.
Will 5SQ2570-0KA08 drop into a panel specified for 5SQ2570-2YA04?
Both share the same 55 mm depth, 2 width units, and SENTRON 5SQ DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. The electrical difference is the 5SQ2570-2YA04 is a 2-pole (2P) unit rated 4 A at 400 V AC, while this 5SQ2570-0KA08 is 1P+N rated 8 A at 240 V AC. Check your voltage and current requirements before swapping — the wiring scheme (switched neutral vs. solid neutral) and the voltage rating differ.
