Product details

Mounting position is unrestricted, which helps when the panel layout is tight and you need to orient breakers sideways or upside-down.

The energy limiting class 3 means it lets through less energy during a fault — better protection for downstream wiring and loads. Neutral conductor switching (1P+N) disconnects both phase and neutral, which is required in some regional wiring codes and adds isolation safety.

Termination and handling

Screw terminals with a specified torque range of 17.7 to 22.1 lbf·in (2.0 to 2.5 N·m). The breaker is sealable — you can lock the toggle in the off position with a padlock for lockout/tagout. Touch protection is built in, so accidental contact with live terminals during maintenance is less likely.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY3020-6?

4.5 kA at 230 V AC per EN 60898. That's the maximum fault current it can safely interrupt.

Where can I buy 5SY3020-6?

We source this part and quote it to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 5SY3020-6 drop into a panel built for 5SY6020-7KL?

Yes — same 18 mm width, same DIN-rail mount, same 76 mm depth. The only difference is the breaking capacity: 4.5 kA on this one versus 6 kA on the 5SY6020-7KL, and the tripping characteristic: B-curve here versus C-curve on the sibling. If the panel was wired for a C-curve, swapping to a B-curve may cause nuisance trips on loads with higher inrush.
