Product details

At DC per IEC 60947-2 it holds 15 kA; under UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No. 235 it's listed at 5 kA, so it carries North American supplemental protection recognition alongside the IEC rating.

D-curve timing and temperature derating

At 45 °C the rated current holds at 1 A; at 50 °C it derates to 0.98 A; at 55 °C to 0.95 A. Above 55 °C the surrounding temperature influence curve drops further: max 95% humidity to 55 °C, max 55% to 70 °C, max 35% to 75 °C. If the panel ambient runs near 60 °C, size up one amp step to stay inside the thermal limit.

Mounting position is any; installation depth is 70 mm.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SY8101-8 and get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for current pricing and availability; confirmed at quote time.

What is the 5SY8101-8's depth?

76 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm.

What breaking capacity does the 5SY8101-8 carry?

70 kA at AC per IEC 60947-2, 15 kA at DC per IEC 60947-2, and 5 kA under UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235.

Does the 5SY8101-8 drop into a panel specified for the 5SY4116-7CV?

Both are 1-pole, 1-module-width SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. The difference is the 5SY8101-8 is a D-curve 1 A breaker with 70 kA breaking capacity; the 5SY4116-7CV is a different rating and curve. Verify the branch circuit's ampacity and trip coordination before swapping.
