Integrator's note — 5SY4406-6KK11
The Siemens SENTRON 5SY4406-6KK11 is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 6 A with a B tripping characteristic, designed for AC circuits up to 400 V. It carries a 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and a 35 kA rating per IEC 60947-2, giving it headroom for high-fault installations. Rated for a -40 °C to 75 °C ambient range, with pollution degree 3 and overvoltage category III — suitable for industrial control panels and railway auxiliary circuits.
The 10 kA per EN 60898 covers standard domestic/commercial fault levels; the 35 kA per IEC 60947-2 is the industrial rating that matters for panel coordination. The B characteristic (3-5 In) trips fast on short-circuits while tolerating moderate inrush, typical for resistive and lighting loads. For DC circuits, the maximum rated voltage is 72 V with a 15 kA breaking capacity per IEC 60947-2.
