Product details

The 1P+N pole configuration switches the phase and monitors the neutral, common in single-phase branch circuits where neutral protection is specified. Breaking capacity is rated 6 kA per EN 60898 for general distribution and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 for industrial panel duty; the higher figure means it can interrupt fault currents up to 15 kA at 230 V AC without welding contacts or cascading failure upstream. The UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 rating of 5 kA at AC covers installations under North American supplemental protection rules — not a branch-circuit-rated breaker per UL 489, so verify the panel's SCCR requirement before specifying it into a UL 508A listed assembly.

Panel integration

Terminal accepts solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 to 35 mm², which covers most branch-circuit wiring from 1.5 mm² lighting circuits up to 10 mm² feeder tails. Combined top and bottom terminals simplify daisy-chaining busbars. IP20 with connected conductors; not rated for washdown environments.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY6513-8?

6 kA per EN 60898 for general distribution, 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 for industrial duty, and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 for North American supplemental protection.

Where can I buy 5SY6513-8?

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

Will 5SY6513-8 drop into a panel specified around 5SY7140-8CC without rewiring?

Both are 2-module (36 mm wide) DIN-rail MCBs, so the footprint is the same. The 5SY6513-8 is a D-curve 13 A 1P+N; the 5SY7140-8CC is a C-curve 40 A 1P+N. If the panel was wired for 40 A branch protection, dropping in a 13 A breaker may undersize the downstream circuit — check the load's rated current and cable ampacity before swapping.
