Product details

The Siemens 5SY5120-7CC12 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the 5SY5 series, rated for 220V DC with a 10kA breaking capacity and a C20 tripping characteristic. This is the part you spec into a DC distribution panel where you need a 20A rated branch protection on a 220V DC bus — common in telecom rectifiers, UPS output cabinets, or battery-backed control circuits. The C-curve means it handles moderate inrush without nuisance trips, so it's a fit for mixed resistive and light inductive DC loads.

The 220V DC rating is the key differentiator here — most panel-mount MCBs are AC-only or have a derated DC voltage. This one is purpose-built for DC circuits at the full 220V, so it's safe to interrupt a fault on a 220V battery string or a DC-DC converter output without arc-extinction issues.

DC-rated MCBs like this one go into the DC side of industrial power systems: battery chargers, solar combiner boxes, DC motor drives, and control power supplies. The 5SY5 series is Siemens' high-performance DC range, so you'll find it in switchgear that needs a compact, high-interrupting DC branch protector.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY5120-7CC12?

The breaking capacity is 10kA at 220V DC, which means it can safely interrupt a fault current up to 10,000 amps on a 220V DC circuit.

Where can I buy 5SY5120-7CC12?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the tripping curve for this MCB?

It has a C20 characteristic — the C-curve trips between 5 and 10 times rated current, so it handles moderate inrush from small transformers or capacitive loads without nuisance tripping.
