Product details

It's rated to clear faults at 10 kA per EN 60898-1 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC, with a DC breaking capacity of 15 kA at 60 V per IEC 60947-2.

Breaking capacity and standards

This MCB carries dual-standard ratings: 10 kA under IEC/EN 60898-1 and 20 kA under IEC 60947-2, both at 400 V AC. At DC, it's rated 15 kA at 60 V (IEC 60947-2). For UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 applications, the interrupting capacity is 5 kA. The operating voltage range covers 400 V AC single-phase and 440 V AC multi-phase, with a DC max of 72 V.

D-curve and deployment context

The D characteristic (tripping between 10x and 20x In) suits motor starting, welding circuits, and transformer primaries where the inrush can hit 12–15x full-load current for a few cycles. A B- or C-curve breaker would nuisance-trip on that same surge.

Operating temperature range is -40 °C to 75 °C, with humidity derating: max 95% up to 55 °C, then dropping to 35% at 75 °C. It's sealable (provision for a lead seal or lock) and carries IP20 protection with connected conductors. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 covers ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz and 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz — enough for pump skids and conveyor drives that rattle the panel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4125-8 at 400 V AC?

10 kA per IEC/EN 60898-1 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2. For UL 1077 applications, it's 5 kA.

What does the D-curve mean for motor loads?

The D characteristic trips between 10x and 20x rated current, so it handles motor inrush (typically 8–12x FLA) without nuisance tripping. It's the right choice for compressors, pumps, and welding circuits.

Will 5SY4125-8 drop into a panel specified for 5SY4140-7 without rewiring?

Both are 1-pole SENTRON MCBs in the same 18 mm modular width, same DIN-rail mount. The difference is the tripping curve: the 5SY4140-7 uses a different characteristic. If the panel was wired for the same pole count and busbar pitch, the physical swap is straightforward — but verify the curve matches the load before committing.

What compliance documentation comes with 5SY4125-8?

RoHS, REACH, and test certificates for IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2, and UL 1077 are available. These are provided with the shipment or on request.

Where can I buy 5SY4125-8 and how is it quoted?

Sourced through independent distribution channels. Quoted to order against an RFQ — availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
