Product details

It's a 2-pole unit wired as 1P+N — meaning it switches the live conductor and switches the neutral, which is handy when you need to fully isolate a single-phase circuit without pulling a separate neutral disconnect. The D curve holds through 10–20× rated current before instant tripping, matching the surge profile of inductive equipment. That dual rating means it's accepted in both commercial and heavy-industrial specs without an extra fuse backup. For North American installs, it also carries a 5 kA rating at AC per UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No. 235 — enough for most supplementary-protection applications in machinery built to those codes.

Installation depth is 70 mm, and overall depth is 76 mm including the terminals. Mountable in any position, which simplifies layout in cramped enclosures where you can't guarantee vertical orientation. Sealable (padlockable) handle available if the install requires lockout/tagout compliance.

Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 75 °C, with humidity derating: max 95% RH up to 55 °C, tapering to 35% at 75 °C. Design acc. to DIN EN 61346-2 and DIN EN 81346-2 (function code F) for consistent reference in panel documentation. Overvoltage category III for fixed-installation protection.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SY6525-8 and get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — confirmed at quote time.

Will the 5SY6525-8 drop into a panel specified for the 5SY4140-7 without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole 1P+N SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint (36 mm wide, 2 width units), so the mechanical fit and terminal layout are the same. However, the 5SY6525-8 is a D-curve 25 A unit, while the 5SY4140-7 is a different rating and characteristic — verify the load's inrush profile and ampacity before swapping.

What is the 5SY6525-8's depth?

Overall depth is 76 mm; installation depth behind the panel surface is 70 mm.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SY6525-8?

The MCB carries ratings per EN 60898 (6 kA), IEC 60947-2 (15 kA), and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 (5 kA). It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens declarations for RoHS and REACH are available with the product documentation.
