The Siemens 5SY4613-8 is a 4-pole (3P+N) SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with a D tripping characteristic, rated 13 A at 35 °C and 50/60 Hz.
The higher IEC figure gives you selectivity headroom downstream of a distribution board with a 25 kA or 36 kA upstream breaker — the 5SY4613-8 will clear a fault without the main breaker tripping, provided the let-through energy is coordinated.
Thermal derating and environmental range
Rated 13 A at 35 °C, the 5SY4613-8 derates to 12.38 A at 40 °C, 12.05 A at 45 °C, 11.73 A at 50 °C, 11.38 A at 55 °C, and 11.02 A at 60 °C. If your panel ambient sits at 50 °C, size the branch load to 11.73 A continuous, not the nameplate 13 A. The breaker itself survives -40 °C to 75 °C ambient and mounts in any orientation — useful for outdoor cabinets or unheated enclosures.
