The Siemens SENTRON 5SY6008-7KL is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker rated 8 A with a C tripping characteristic and a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 at 230 V AC. The C-curve means it tolerates moderate inrush (motors, transformers, capacitive loads) without nuisance tripping, but still clears fast on a hard short.
The 1P+N format switches the line and switches the neutral — the neutral pole is not protected, but it disconnects for isolation. Screw terminals accept solid or stranded copper from 0.75 mm² up to 16 mm², torqued to 2–2.5 N·m.
