The Siemens 5SY7514-8 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with a D tripping characteristic, rated 0.3 A at AC across 50/60 Hz. It is a 2-pole unit configured as 1P+N, meaning it switches the line and protects the neutral but does not switch it.
Breaking capacity and standard compliance
At DC per IEC 60947-2 it holds 15 kA.
Thermal derating — the number that matters for real loads
The 0.3 A rating is at 35 °C ambient. At 45 °C it derates to 0.27 A, at 50 °C to 0.26 A, at 55 °C to 0.25 A, and at 60 °C to 0.24 A. The breaker also carries a humidity derating curve: max 95% RH up to 55 °C, then 55% RH up to 70 °C, then 35% RH up to 75 °C.
Mechanical fit and panel integration
Mounting position is any, so vertical or horizontal DIN-rail orientation works. The quick-assembly fastening system and combined top/bottom terminals simplify busbar and outgoing wiring. Sealable, halogen-free, and silicon-free construction.
