Product details

25 A B-curve 4-pole MCB for panel protection

It's not the curve for motor starting (that's C or D), but for protecting a 4-wire distribution branch in a panel, this is the standard pick. That's enough headroom for a typical sub-distribution board fed from a 630 kVA transformer.

DIN-rail fit and wiring

Any mounting position is permitted, which simplifies layout in a crowded enclosure. Terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 up to 35 mm² — that's a wide range, covering everything from 1.5 mm² control wiring up to 10 mm² feeder tails. Combined top and bottom terminals mean you can bus-bar the line side and still land the load side without extra adapters. IP20 with conductors connected — standard for enclosed panel gear.

Environmental tolerance

That covers most indoor panel environments, including unheated electrical rooms. Humidity tolerance is specified up to 95% at 55 °C, derating to 35% at 75 °C — fine for non-condensing conditions in temperate climates.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY6425-6?

Rated 6 kA per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2. The 15 kA figure under the industrial standard is the practical limit for fault interruption in a panel.

What conductor sizes does 5SY6425-6 accept?

Solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 35 mm². Combined top and bottom terminals allow bus-bar connection on the line side.

Where can I buy 5SY6425-6?

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

Does 5SY6425-6 replace 5SY3132-6 in an existing panel?

No — 5SY3132-6 is a different pole count and current rating. The 5SY6425-6 is a 4-pole 25 A B-curve; verify the existing breaker's ratings before substituting. The DIN-rail footprint and terminal range are similar, but the electrical ratings must match the circuit design.
