Product details

The Siemens 5SY4501-8CV is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker rated for Icu=15kA at 230/400V, with a D1 tripping curve. The 1P+N configuration switches both the line and neutral, with overcurrent protection only on the line pole, common in single-phase distribution subcircuits where neutral isolation is required.

Snap-on DIN rail mount for standard TH35 profile. The 1P+N width is 2 modules (36 mm), so factor that into enclosure fill. Rated for 15 kA interrupting capacity at 230/400 V — this breaker can sit upstream of a subpanel without needing a current-limiting backup fuse in most residential and light commercial service entrances.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 5SY4501-8CV?

The Icu is 15 kA at 230/400 V, which is sufficient for most residential and light commercial subpanels without requiring upstream current-limiting fuses.

What does the D1 curve mean on this MCB?

The D1 curve (typically 10–20x In) is designed for loads with high inrush current, such as motors, transformers, or discharge lighting. It avoids nuisance tripping during startup.

Where can I buy the 5SY4501-8CV?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
