Product details

The Siemens 5SY4620-7CV is a 4-pole (3+N) miniature circuit breaker with C-curve tripping characteristic, rated 20 A at 35 °C and carrying a 15 kA breaking capacity per IEC/EN 60947-2. Rated operating voltage is 440 V AC multi-phase, with a maximum DC operating voltage of 72 V. The breaker is designed for mechanical engineering and industrial environments, accepting supply from any position and mountable in any orientation via the quick-assembly system.

The 20 A rating holds at 35 °C ambient. At 40 °C the breaker derates to 18.54 A, at 50 °C to 16.9 A, and at 55 °C to 16.08 A. This matters for panels with high internal heat rise — if the breaker sits next to transformers or drives, use the 50 °C column to size the branch. The surrounding humidity limit is 95% at 55 °C, tapering to 35% at 75 °C. Temperature range spans -40 °C to 75 °C, with vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz.

Integration notes

The neutral pole is switched (3+N design).

Rated frequency is 50/60 Hz. The part carries the designation letter 'F' per both EN 61346-2 and IEC 81346-2 for circuit-breaker function identification in schematics. That is standard for DIN-rail MCBs; no washdown rating here.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 15 kA breaking capacity mean for a 400 V panel?

The 15 kA rating per IEC 60947-2 means the breaker can safely interrupt a fault current up to 15 kA at the rated voltage. That is sufficient for most industrial sub-distribution boards fed by a transformer in the 630 kVA to 1000 kVA range, assuming the prospective short-circuit current at the breaker terminals does not exceed 15 kA.

Where can I buy the 5SY4620-7CV and how is it quoted?

The 5SY4620-7CV is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock figures are published here.

Will the 5SY4620-7CV drop into a panel specified around a 5SY4332-7CV without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole C-curve MCBs in the same 5SY series, sharing the same 72 mm width and DIN-rail mounting. The difference is the current rating — the 5SY4620-7CV is 20 A, while the 5SY4332-7CV is a different rating. If the branch load is 20 A, the 5SY4620-7CV is a direct mechanical fit; the wiring and busbar connection are identical. Verify the load current before swapping — the C-curve and pole count match.
