D-curve MCB for inductive and motor-start loads
The Siemens 5SY6103-8CC is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with a D tripping characteristic, rated 3 A at 35 °C on a 1-pole (1P) design. Breaking capacity is 6 kA per EN 60898 and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235, which covers most industrial panel secondary circuits and machine-tool feeders.
Temperature derating — the real ampacity at panel ambient
The 3 A rating holds at 35 °C. At 40 °C it derates to 2.76 A, at 45 °C to 2.62 A, at 50 °C to 2.49 A, and at 55 °C to 2.34 A. The breaker also carries a humidity spec: max 95% RH up to 55 °C, tapering to 35% RH at 75 °C.
