Product details

The Siemens 5SY4463-8FA is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON family, rated 63 A with a D tripping characteristic and a 10 kA interrupting capacity per EN 60898 at 400 V AC. It's designed as a counter-preliminary MCB for metering applications — the 'as automatic meter' designation means it's built for utility-metering cabinets where the breaker sits ahead of the meter, not for general distribution board duty. The D curve (10–20× In magnetic trip) handles high inrush loads like transformers or motor starters without nuisance tripping, which is the main reason you'd spec this over a B or C curve in an industrial panel.

If your upstream protective device limits let-through energy below 10 kA, this breaker coordinates cleanly. The D characteristic means the magnetic trip fires at 10 to 20 times rated current (630 to 1260 A for this 63 A unit), so it's sized for circuits with brief high-starting currents like small transformers, DC power supplies, or motor contactor coils. At 400 V AC, the rated voltage covers 3-phase line-to-line; the 440 V multi/single-phase rating gives headroom for lightly loaded transformers or genset output. The 72 V DC maximum means it can switch a DC control bus, but don't expect full 10 kA interrupting at DC — that's a separate rating not listed here.

The 4-module-width footprint (72 mm) occupies four 18 mm slots on the rail. Sealable with a lead seal or adhesive label for metering applications where tamper evidence is required.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SY4463-8FA used for?

It's a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker with D characteristic, rated 63 A and 10 kA at 400 V AC. It's designed as a counter-preliminary MCB for utility metering cabinets, and is also suitable for general industrial distribution where high inrush loads (transformers, motors) require a D-curve trip.

Where can I buy the 5SY4463-8FA and how is it quoted?

We source this part through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ — no stock count or price is published here. Submit an RFQ for a firm quote with lead time.

What compliance documentation does the 5SY4463-8FA carry?

The breaker is rated per EN 60898 for breaking capacity, and carries vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. For specific RoHS/REACH/UL declarations, the manufacturer's documentation should be consulted — the evidence does not list a UL file number or CE mark explicitly, but the EN 60898 rating implies CE conformity for the European market.
