The Siemens 5SY6532-6 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with a 1P+N / 2-pole design and B-curve tripping characteristic. The breaker carries dual breaking-capacity ratings: 6 kA per EN 60898-1 (the standard for final circuits in buildings) and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 (the industrial standard for panelboard and distribution use). That 15 kA figure under 60947-2 also applies at DC (15 kA at 60 V rated, 72 V max) and at AC under UL 1077 the rating is 5 kA. For a panel OEM, the 15 kA SCCR headroom under 60947-2 means this breaker can be specified in industrial control panels where the available fault current is higher than the 6 kA residential ceiling — a real selectivity advantage without upsizing to a larger frame. The 36 mm width (2 modular-width units) and 76 mm depth (70 mm installation depth) fit standard DIN-rail enclosures. The neutral conductor is switched (1P+N), so this breaker isolates both phase and neutral — required in many national wiring regulations for final subcircuits.
Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5-25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25-150 Hz — rated for installation near rotating machinery or on a machine frame. The degree of pollution 3 rating means it is suitable for environments with conductive pollution (condensation, light dust) typical of industrial control rooms.
