Product details

What this 1A D-curve 1P+N MCB covers

At 230 V AC the interrupting capacity hits 50 kA per IEC 60947-2, with a 15 kA rating under EN 60898 for domestic-style distribution boards. For DC circuits the breaker is rated 72 V max, 15 kA per IEC 60947-2. The 1P+N layout lets it disconnect the neutral alongside the phase, which matters when the neutral is not a solidly bonded bar — common in industrial sub-panels or where the supply transformer is local.

That is well above the typical 10–25 kA available fault current on most secondary-side distribution, so it gives selectivity headroom upstream. The 15 kA per EN 60898 is the lower domestic/commercial rating; the 5 kA per UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No. 235 covers North American supplementary-protector applications. If you are coordinating with a larger upstream MCCB, the 50 kA figure lets you use a lower-rated main breaker without worrying about cascading failure.

The combined terminal at top and bottom accepts copper conductors; the breaker is sealable for metering applications.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SY7501-8?

Submit an RFQ through the storefront. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is 5SY7501-8's interrupting capacity at 230 V AC?

50 kA per IEC 60947-2, and 15 kA per EN 60898. For UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 applications it is rated 5 kA.

Will 5SY7501-8 drop into a panel that was specified around 5SY3132-6 without rewiring?

Both are 2-module (36 mm wide) DIN-rail MCBs, so the physical footprint matches. But the 5SY7501-8 is 1P+N with neutral switching, while the 5SY3132-6 is a different pole configuration and tripping characteristic — verify the circuit's neutral bonding and the required curve before swapping.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY7501-8?

The breaker carries IEC 60947-2, EN 60898, UL 1077, and CSA C22.2 No. 235 ratings. RoHS, REACH, CE, and UKCA declarations are available from the manufacturer on request.
