Product details

The Siemens 5SY6308-8 is a 3-pole SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with a D tripping characteristic rated at 8 A and 400 V AC. The 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 covers most residential and light commercial panelboards; the 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 gives headroom for industrial distribution where fault currents run higher. The 5 kA UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 rating means it's accepted for North American supplementary protection applications, though it's not a branch-circuit rated UL 489 device.

Occupies 3 width units (54 mm). Accepts solid or stranded copper from 0.75 mm² up to 35 mm², which covers everything from control-circuit tails to feeder-sized conductors. Combined terminals top and bottom simplify busbar or daisy-chain wiring. IP20 with conductors connected; install in any orientation, and the sealable cover allows lockout/tagout on the panel door.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY6308-8?

6 kA per EN 60898, 15 kA per IEC 60947-2, and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235.

Where can I buy the 5SY6308-8?

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

Will 5SY6308-8 drop into a panel specified around 5SY6613-8?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint, but the 5SY6613-8 is a higher-current variant (13 A). The 5SY6308-8 will physically fit the same mounting and busbar arrangement, but verify the load current and coordination study before swapping — the D-curve and breaking capacities are similar, but the ampacity differs.
