The 5SY7340-8CC is a Siemens SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 3-pole, D tripping characteristic, rated 40 A at 400 V AC. At 400 V AC the unit interrupts fault currents up to 15 kA (IEC 60947-2), which covers most industrial panel SCCR requirements; for North American installations the UL 1077 / CSA 22.2 No. 235 rating is 5 kA at the same voltage. The D-curve's wider magnetic trip band (10–20× In) avoids nuisance tripping on motor start, transformer energization, or capacitor bank switching. For DC circuits the maximum rated voltage is 72 V, so this is an AC-primary breaker.
Occupies 3 width units (54 mm) on the rail. Mounting position any orientation. Touch protection built in.
