Product details

The D-curve (10–20× In) means it tolerates the inrush of motor starters, transformers, or discharge lamps without nuisance tripping, so it belongs in a machine control panel or a distribution board feeding inductive loads, not a general-purpose lighting final circuit.

In a panel with a transformer upstream that can deliver 25 kA of fault current, this holds; if your service entrance can push 50 kA, you step up to a higher-rated frame. The 15 kA DC rating at 72 V DC covers battery-backed control circuits or DC bus distribution — useful in UPS-fed panels. D-curve (10–20× In) means magnetic trip happens between 250 A and 500 A for this 25 A unit. That's wide enough to pass the starting surge of a 7.5 kW DOL motor without blinking, but still clears a bolted fault fast. At one width unit (18 mm), it occupies a single module slot.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SY8125-8?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SY8125-8?

30 kA at 400 V AC per IEC 60947-2, and 15 kA at 72 V DC per the same standard. Under UL 1077 it's rated 5 kA.

Will the 5SY8125-8 drop into a panel built for the 5SY4140-7?

Both are 1-pole SENTRON MCBs on an 18 mm footprint with the same quick-assembly DIN-rail mount. The difference is the curve and rating: the 5SY8125-8 is D-curve at 25 A with 30 kA breaking capacity, while the 5SY4140-7 is a different variant. Panel cutouts and busbar connections are identical.
