Product details

Rated breaking capacity hits 10 kA per IEC 60898-1 at 400 V AC, and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 60 V DC — so it handles fault current on industrial lighting panels, small motor branch circuits, and DC control bus feeds. Also carries a UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 supplementary protector rating at 5 kA for North American panels.

Mounts in any position. IP20 with conductors connected, pollution degree 3, overvoltage category III. That means it's rated for inside a standard industrial enclosure, not for wet or outdoor locations. Neutral conductor is not switched — it's a 2-pole breaker switching both phases (line and load), not line + neutral. Suitable for mechanical engineering and industry per the suitability listing.

Environmental limits and service life

Operates from -40 °C up to 75 °C ambient. Vibration tested per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz. Mechanical service life typical 10,000 cycles. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4280-7?

10 kA per IEC 60898-1 at 400 V AC, 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 60 V DC, and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235.

Will 5SY4280-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4140-7?

Yes — same 2-MW width (36 mm), same DIN-rail snap-on mounting, same depth (76 mm), and both are 2-pole C-curve breakers. The difference is the breaking capacity rating; 5SY4280-7 carries 10 kA IEC versus the 5SY4140-7's lower rating. No rewiring needed as long as the fault current doesn't exceed the lower breaker's rating.

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SY4280-7?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY4280-7?

The breaker is certified to IEC / EN 60898-1 and IEC / EN 60947-2, and carries UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 supplementary protector ratings. It is halogen-free and silicon-free.
