Product details

The Siemens 5SY4506-7CV is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker with a C6 tripping characteristic, rated 15 kA breaking capacity per IEC 60947-2 at 230/400 V AC, 50/60 Hz. It switches the neutral conductor, so it's built for single-phase circuits where you need overcurrent and short-circuit protection on the line side and a switched neutral in one compact package.

The C6 characteristic means the magnetic trip threshold is 5 to 10 times rated current — 30 to 60 A — so it handles moderate inrush from motor starters or transformer banks without nuisance tripping, but still clears a hard fault fast. The 15 kA breaking capacity (Icu) per IEC 60947-2 tells you it can safely interrupt a fault current up to 15,000 A at 230/400 V AC. That's enough for most industrial panelboards and sub-distribution boards fed from a transformer; above that you'd step to a higher-rated MCCB or fuse.

The sealable cover is handy for lockout/tagout or panel-access control. Rated for mechanical engineering and industry environments per the manufacturer's suitability listing. The wide ambient range (-40 to 75 °C) and IP20 with conductors connected mean it's fine inside a climate-controlled panel or a roof-mounted enclosure in a cold climate.
