Product details

Breaking capacity and fault handling

For DC circuits, the same breaker is rated 15 kA at 72 V DC (IEC 60947-2), and under UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 it carries 5 kA at AC.

Mounts via the quick-assembly system in any position, on any DIN rail. Ambient range runs from -40 °C to 75 °C, with humidity derating above 55 °C (max 95% RH at 55 °C, tapering to 35% at 75 °C).

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY6240-8?

10 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC, 6 kA per EN 60898, 15 kA at 72 V DC (IEC 60947-2), and 5 kA under UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 at AC.

Where can I buy the 5SY6240-8?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the difference between 5SY6240-8 and 5SY6613-8?

The 5SY6240-8 is a 2-pole, 40 A, D-curve MCB; the 5SY6613-8 is a different variant in the same SENTRON 5SY6 family. Both share the same DIN-rail footprint and 36 mm width, so a panel specified around one will accept the other without rewiring, but the tripping curve and current rating differ — verify the protection coordination before swapping.
