Product details

Siemens 5SY4280-6 — 2-pole B-curve MCB for general distribution

It breaks fault currents up to 10 kA per EN 60898 at 400 V AC, 50/60 Hz — enough for most commercial and light industrial sub-distribution boards.

Thermal derating and ambient limits

Rated current drops with panel ambient temperature: 80 A at 35 °C, 74.16 A at 45 °C, 72.16 A at 50 °C, 70 A at 55 °C, and 67.84 A at 60 °C. If the enclosure runs hot — say next to a transformer or in a sealed cabinet — size the upstream protective device for the derated figure, not the 35 °C nameplate.

IP20 with connected conductors — no washdown rating, so keep it inside the enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What is 5SY4280-6's breaking capacity?

It has a 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 at 400 V AC, and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at DC. For UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 applications, the rating is 5 kA.

What is the difference between 5SY4280-6 and 5SY3132-6?

The 5SY3132-6 is a 1-pole, 32 A B-curve MCB; the 5SY4280-6 is a 2-pole, 80 A B-curve MCB. They share the same SENTRON platform and DIN-rail footprint, but pole count and current rating differ — the 5SY4280-6 will not drop into a panel wired for single-pole 32 A without rewiring the busbar and load circuit.

Where can I buy 5SY4280-6?

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