The 5SY4210-5: The Type A characteristic trips on short-circuit and overload with a defined instantaneous threshold, suited for resistive and lightly inductive loads in industrial control panels.
DC ratings and environmental tolerance
For DC circuits, the 5SY4210-5 is rated 60 V (max 72 V) with a 15 kA breaking capacity per IEC 60947-2. This makes it usable in 48 V or 60 V DC auxiliary supplies common in switchgear, though the 2-pole design does not switch the neutral conductor.
It is halogen-free and silicon-free, meeting clean-environment requirements for electronics manufacturing or food processing lines.
