Product details

What this MCB does in the panel

That C-curve means it holds through inrush up to 5–10× rated current before tripping magnetically — sized for motor-starter or transformer primary protection where the start-up surge would nuisance-trip a B-curve. Breaking capacity is 4.5 kA per EN 60898 and 6 kA per IEC 60947-2, so it clears faults up to that level without welding contacts.

The C characteristic is the key selection parameter: it delays thermal tripping for moderate inrush, making it a common choice for motor circuits, small transformers, and capacitive loads. Breaking capacity is 4.5 kA per EN 60898 and 6 kA per IEC 60947-2 — enough for most commercial and light industrial distribution boards. UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No. 235 listing at 5 kA means it is accepted in North American panel builds as a supplementary protector. IP20 with connected conductors; halogen-free and silicon-free construction.

Touch protection is built in. The sealable design lets you lock the toggle position after commissioning — useful for tamper-proofing a critical circuit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY3101-7?

4.5 kA per EN 60898, 6 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC. For DC circuits, 15 kA at 72 V DC per IEC 60947-2. UL 1077/CSA rating is 5 kA.

Where can I buy 5SY3101-7 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.

Will 5SY3101-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SY3132-6?

Both are 1-pole SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint (18 mm width, 76 mm depth). The 5SY3132-6 is a higher-current variant (32 A, C-curve). The 5SY3101-7 shares the same mechanical dimensions and mounting, so it fits the same panel cutout and busbar spacing without rewiring — just match the ampacity to your load.
