Product details

What this MCB does on the rail

That C-curve means it holds through inrush up to 5–10× rated current — typical for motor-starter and small transformer loads on a 400 V AC line. The 4.5 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 covers most residential and light commercial panelboard duty; the 6 kA rating per IEC 60947-2 gives you the higher fault-clearing headroom needed when the breaker sits closer to the transformer in an industrial sub-distribution board.

Panel fit and wiring constraints

Terminal capacity accepts 0.75 to 35 mm² solid or stranded, which covers everything from 1.5 mm² lighting circuits up to 10 mm² feeder tails. Combined terminals top and bottom mean you can feed from either end without swapping the busbar position.

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, which matters for panels in clean-room or corrosive-gas environments where outgassing can contaminate contacts. IP20 with connected conductors — finger-safe once wired, but not protected against dripping water. Overvoltage category III, energy limiting class 3. Sealable for lockout/tagout compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SY3213-7 and how is it quoted?

We source and quote the 5SY3213-7 to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.

Will the 5SY3213-7 drop into a panel specified around the 5SY3132-6 without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole, 2-width-unit (36 mm) SENTRON 5SY3 breakers with the same depth and terminal range, so the mechanical fit is identical. The electrical substitution depends on the load — the 5SY3213-7 is 13 A, the 5SY3132-6 is 32 A. If the circuit is designed for 13 A, the 5SY3213-7 is the correct part.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SY3213-7?

The breaker carries ratings per EN 60898 (4.5 kA) and IEC 60947-2 (6 kA), and is UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 recognized (5 kA at AC). Standard Siemens documentation includes the declaration of conformity and CE marking; RoHS and REACH compliance are typical for current SENTRON production.
