Product details

It breaks fault currents up to 15 kA per EN 60898 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2, with a DC rating of 15 kA per the same standard. At 40 A on a 4-pole frame, this is a main or heavy feeder breaker in a distribution board, not a final-subcircuit device.

Where it lands in a panel

IP20 with conductors connected, so it lives inside an enclosure or distribution board, not exposed. The combined terminals top and bottom (box lug + clamp) accept a range of conductor sizes without needing separate accessories.

Construction and environmental range

Halogen-free and silicon-free construction — no outgassing that corrodes contacts in sealed enclosures. Operating temperature range -40 °C to 75 °C, with humidity derating above 55 °C (95% RH to 55 °C, 55% to 70 °C, 35% to 75 °C). Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz. The neutral pole is switched (3P+N), so it breaks the neutral along with the phases — this matters for TN-S or TT systems where neutral isolation is required for maintenance safety.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of the 5SY7640-6?

40 A rated current at 400 V AC, B-curve trip characteristic, 15 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2, 4-pole 3P+N construction.

Where can I buy the 5SY7640-6?

The 5SY7640-6 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the difference between the 5SY7640-6 and the 5SY7210-7CC?

The 5SY7210-7CC is a single-pole C-curve breaker at a lower current rating, while the 5SY7640-6 is a 4-pole B-curve at 40 A. They share the same SENTRON platform and DIN-rail footprint, but the pole count, curve, and rating differ — they are not drop-in replacements without rewiring the panel.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SY7640-6?

The 5SY7640-6 carries approvals under EN 60898, IEC 60947-2, and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235. Standard Siemens documentation includes RoHS and REACH declarations available through the product support portal.
