Product details

50 A B-curve MCB for distribution and machine panels

The 3P+N design switches all three phases and switches the neutral, which matters for TN-S or TN-C-S systems where neutral isolation is required during maintenance or fault clearing.

Thermal derating and ambient conditions

The 50 A rating holds at 35 °C ambient. At 45 °C it derates to 47 A, at 50 °C to 45.95 A, at 55 °C to 44.9 A, and at 60 °C to 43.8 A. If the panel runs hot — say 50 °C inside the enclosure — the breaker's continuous current capability drops by about 8%, so the connected load must be sized accordingly. IP20 with connected conductors is standard for panel-mounted breakers; the enclosure provides the overall IP rating.

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction matters in clean environments — semiconductor fabs, battery lines, or food processing areas where outgassing from a fault could contaminate product or sensitive electronics. The touch-protected terminals reduce the risk of accidental contact during panel maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Will 5SY4650-6 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4304-7CV without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is the same. The key difference is the current rating: 5SY4650-6 is 50 A, while 5SY4304-7CV is a lower-rated variant. If the panel was wired for a lower current, the conductor sizing and upstream protection must be verified before substituting a 50 A breaker. The busbar comb and terminal spacing are identical.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY4650-6?

The part carries the standard SENTRON compliance package: CE marking for the European market, UL/CSA certification for North American acceptance, and RoHS/REACH declarations. The halogen-free and silicon-free construction supports clean-environment requirements. Specific declaration documents are available on request with the RFQ.
