Product details

It breaks faults at 10 kA per IEC/EN 60898-1 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2, with the same 15 kA rating at DC per IEC 60947-2. The neutral pole is switched, so you get full isolation on all four poles — no exceptions.

The 10 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC is the rating under IEC/EN 60898-1, which covers domestic and light commercial installations; the 15 kA rating under IEC 60947-2 applies in industrial panels where the prospective fault current is higher. That 15 kA also holds at DC, so the same part works in DC distribution up to 60 V or 72 V max.

This MCB is specified for mechanical engineering and industry applications. Sealable for lockout/tagout compliance; if it's not locked, it's not safe.

The breaker is certified to IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2, plus UL 1077. That dual rating means it qualifies for both IEC-based distribution boards and UL-recognized industrial control panels. Halogen-free and silicon-free — no silicone outgassing to foul contacts in sealed enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SY4640-7?

It is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a quote request for current pricing and availability.

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY4640-7?

10 kA per IEC/EN 60898-1 at 400 V AC, 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC, and 15 kA at DC per IEC 60947-2.

Will 5SY4640-7 drop into a panel specified for 5SY6332-7CC?

Both are 4-module-width SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. The deciding difference is the rating: the 5SY4640-7 is a 40 A C-curve; the 5SY6332-7CC is a different current/curve combination. Verify the load requirement before swapping.
