The D characteristic means it's built for loads with a high starting surge: motors, transformers, welding sets. Out here in the grease, that's the difference between nuisance tripping on a compressor start and actually clearing a dead short.

Frequently asked questions
Will the 5SY4425-8FA drop into a panel wired for 5SY6613-8 without rewiring?
Not directly — the 5SY4425-8FA is a 4-pole D-curve 25 A breaker; the 5SY6613-8 is a different pole count and rating. Terminal wire range (0.75–35 mm²) and DIN-rail footprint are similar, but the tripping characteristic and current rating differ, so verify the circuit's coordination before swapping.
What is the 5SY4425-8FA's depth?
76 mm overall depth, with a 70 mm installation depth behind the panel face.
What wire sizes does the 5SY4425-8FA accept?
Solid and stranded copper from 0.75 mm² up to 35 mm².
