Product details

It breaks 15 kA under IEC 60947-2 and 5 kA under UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235, so it handles fault currents up to those levels without welding or cascading upstream. The D-curve means the magnetic trip is set at 10–20× In (400–800 A), sized for loads like small conveyors, compressors, or pump starters that draw a heavy inrush on power-up.

Accepts solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 to 35 mm²; screw terminals torque to 2.5–3.5 N·m. IP20 with conductors connected, so it's panel-only — not for wet or washdown zones. Ambient range -25 to +55 °C, storage -40 to +75 °C. Mounting position any, so it fits vertical or horizontal busbars without derating. Overvoltage category III, suitable for fixed-installation distribution boards in mechanical engineering and industrial environments.

Sealable (padlockable) for lockout/tagout compliance. Touch protection integrated. Combined terminal top and bottom simplifies daisy-chaining busbars or looping feed-through. Neutral conductor switching not included — this is a 1P breaker, line only.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY7140-8CC and get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time — submit an inquiry for a firm quote.

What is the depth of 5SY7140-8CC?

76 mm depth, with an installation depth of 70 mm. Fits standard DIN-rail enclosures with that clearance.

What conductor sizes does 5SY7140-8CC accept?

Solid and stranded conductors from 0.75 to 35 mm². Screw terminals torque to 2.5–3.5 N·m.

Will 5SY7140-8CC drop into a panel specified for 5SY3132-6 without rewiring?

Same 18 mm width and DIN-rail mount, so physically it fits the same slot. But the 5SY7140-8CC is 40 A D-curve versus 32 A C-curve — verify the branch circuit's ampacity and inrush profile before swapping. No rewiring needed if the conductor and upstream protection are already sized for 40 A.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY7140-8CC?

Rated under IEC 60947-2 (15 kA) and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235 (5 kA). Halogen-free and silicon-free. Overvoltage category III. The SENTRON series typically carries CE, UKCA, and EAC marks; specific declarations are available from Siemens on request.
