It protects branch circuits in control panels, distribution boards, and railway auxiliary systems against overload and short-circuit faults. Breaking capacity is 10 kA per EN 60898 and 35 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC — the higher IEC figure governs industrial panel coordination where fault current may exceed the domestic standard. For DC circuits the maximum rated voltage is 72 V, with a 15 kA breaking capacity under IEC 60947-2. It avoids nuisance tripping on inrush while clearing hard faults.

Frequently asked questions
Will 5SY4304-7KK11 drop into a panel specified around 5SY3132-6 without rewiring?
Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint (3 width units, 54 mm). The 5SY4304-7KK11 is a 4 A C-curve; the 5SY3132-6 is a different rating and trip characteristic. Mechanical fit is the same, but verify the electrical ratings match your circuit before substituting.
What is 5SY4304-7KK11's listed depth?
Depth is 76 mm (installation depth 70 mm).
What wire sizes does the 5SY4304-7KK11 accept?
Solid and stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 35 mm².
