D-curve and derating — what matters for the BOM
The 4 A rating is at 35 °C ambient; at 40 °C it derates to 3.76 A, at 50 °C to 3.5 A, and at 60 °C to 3.23 A. The 10 kA breaking capacity at 230/400 V AC is adequate for most secondary distribution panels; for higher fault currents you would step to the 15 kA or 25 kA variants in the same 5SY4 family.
