Product details

B-curve tripping and breaking capacity

Breaking capacity is rated at 6 kA per IEC/EN 60898-1 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 230 V AC. Under DC conditions at 60 V, the IEC 60947-2 rating holds at 15 kA. That dual rating means the 5SY6520-6 can be specified into a panel requiring either standard (60898-1) or industrial (60947-2) fault-current handling, with the higher 15 kA figure typically governing the SCCR calculation for the branch circuit.

The quick-assembly fastening system and combined top/bottom terminals simplify busbar and ring-tongue wiring in crowded enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

What breaking capacity does 5SY6520-6 have?
