Product details

The 4-pole design (4P) switches all four conductors; note that the neutral conductor is not switched separately (no neutral switching), so the breaker handles the full 4-pole isolation in a single unit. Breaking capacity is rated at 10 kA per EN 60898-1 and 35 kA per IEC 60947-2 / UL1077. The breaker carries a pollution degree 3 rating and overvoltage category III, meaning it's designed for fixed installations inside an enclosure where conductive pollution (dust, moisture) is possible — standard for industrial control panels.

The 4 A rating is at 35 °C. At higher ambient temperatures inside a panel, the continuous current must be derated: 3.81 A at 40 °C, 3.71 A at 45 °C, 3.61 A at 50 °C, 3.5 A at 55 °C, and 3.39 A at 60 °C. If the panel ambient runs at 50 °C, the breaker's effective rating drops to 3.61 A — factor that into the load calculation. The breaker occupies 4 modular width units (each 18 mm wide, so 72 mm total width).

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4404-8?

The breaking capacity is 10 kA per EN 60898-1 and 35 kA per IEC 60947-2 / UL1077. Use the 35 kA figure for industrial panel fault-current calculations.

What does the D tripping characteristic mean for this breaker?

The D curve allows inrush currents 10 to 20 times the rated current (4 A) for short durations, so it is suited for motor and transformer loads that have a high start-up surge.

Where can I buy 5SY4404-8 and how is it quoted?

The 5SY4404-8 is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ to receive a current price and availability confirmation — no stock or price figures are listed here.

What compliance documentation is available for 5SY4404-8?

The breaker is certified to IEC / EN 60898-1, IEC / EN 60947-2, and UL1077. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard RoHS and REACH declarations are available from the manufacturer.
