Product details

It breaks 10 kA per EN 60898-1 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2, with a DC rating of 15 kA at 60 V (72 V max). That dual breaking capacity means it meets both residential-standard (EN 60898-1) and industrial-standard (IEC 60947-2) requirements, so the same part can serve a panel that needs UL 1077 listing (5 kA per that standard) or a European industrial installation that demands the higher 20 kA SCCR.

If your load has a high inrush that exceeds a B-curve but doesn't need the D-curve's wider tolerance, this is the right characteristic. At 400 V, the 20 kA figure (IEC 60947-2) covers most industrial distribution panels; the 10 kA (EN 60898-1) is sufficient for final subcircuits. The DC rating of 15 kA at 60 V means it also works in DC bus applications up to that voltage — useful in battery-backed or solar-combiner panels.

The quick-assembly system means it clips onto the rail without tools and can be removed with a screwdriver lever. Mounting position any — no derating needed for horizontal or inverted orientation. Sealable — the toggle can be locked in the off position with a padlock, which satisfies lockout/tagout requirements without an accessory.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of 5SY4225-7?

2-pole, C-curve, 10 kA per EN 60898-1, 20 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC, and 15 kA at 60 V DC. Width 36 mm (2 MW), depth 76 mm, IP20 with conductors connected.

Where can I buy 5SY4225-7?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 5SY4225-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4140-7?

Both are 2-pole SENTRON MCBs with the same 36 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so the physical fit is identical. The difference is the current rating — 5SY4140-7 is a lower-rated variant (40 A typical). Verify the load current before swapping.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY4225-7?

The breaker is certified to IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2, and UL 1077. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Full RoHS/REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request.
