Product details

What the 15 kA Icu means for the panel

The Siemens 5SY4550-8CV is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker with a D50 tripping characteristic and a rated ultimate breaking capacity (Icu) of 15 kA at 230/400 V. The D50 curve means the magnetic trip holds up to 10× rated current (500 A for this 50 A unit), so it tolerates the inrush of motor loads, transformers, or capacitive banks without nuisance tripping on start-up.

The 1P+N form factor occupies a single modular width (roughly 18 mm), leaving the adjacent slot free for the neutral busbar or a second MCB.

Frequently asked questions

What does the D50 curve mean for motor starting?

The D characteristic provides a magnetic trip threshold of 10× In (500 A), which avoids nuisance tripping during the high inrush of direct-on-line motor starts, transformer energization, or capacitive loads.

Where can I buy the 5SY4550-8CV?
