Product details

The 5SY4606-6 is a Siemens SENTRON miniature circuit breaker in a 3P+N four-pole configuration — three protected phases plus a switched neutral. Rated operational voltage is 400 V AC (440 V max multi-phase), with a DC rating of 60 V (72 V max). The neutral is switched for full isolation on all four poles.

The combined top and bottom terminals let you feed from either end without reconfiguring the busbar. Pollution degree 3 means it tolerates conductive dust and humidity typical of factory floors. The humidity derating curve caps relative humidity at 95% up to 55 °C, then drops to 35% at 75 °C — relevant if the panel sits near a heat source. Temperature range spans -40 to 75 °C, so it works in cold storage or hot machine cabinets without derating the thermal-magnetic trip.

Approvals cover IEC/EN 60898-1 for general distribution, IEC/EN 60947-2 for industrial switchgear, and UL 1077 for North American supplementary protection.

Frequently asked questions

Will the 5SY4606-6 drop into a panel specified around the 5SY4140-7?

Yes — same 4-module width (72 mm), same DIN-rail mounting, same 3P+N pole configuration. The 5SY4606-6 has a higher interrupting rating (35 kA vs the 5SY4140-7's lower value), so it is electrically upward-compatible. No rewiring or busbar change needed.
