Product details

In a UL 1077 supplementary protection context, the same breaker is rated 5 kA, so if your panel requires a UL-listed branch-circuit device, this part serves as supplementary protection only, not a main feeder breaker. The 2-pole construction switches both phase conductors; neutral is not switched, which is the standard arrangement for single-phase or two-phase loads where the neutral is bonded elsewhere. That's high enough for most industrial distribution boards fed by a transformer of several hundred kVA. The DC rating of 15 kA at 60 V (max 72 V) covers battery banks, UPS outputs, and DC bus applications — but note the voltage ceiling: 60 V rated, 72 V maximum operating, so it fits 48 V nominal systems with float voltage up to 60 V, not 110 V DC traction batteries.

Ambient range from -40 °C to 75 °C, with derating for humidity: max 95% RH at 55 °C, dropping to 35% at 75 °C. That covers outdoor cabinets in cold climates and warm indoor switchgear rooms.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY8215-8?

70 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC, 15 kA at 60 V DC, and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235. The UL rating is for supplementary protection, not branch-circuit feeder duty.

What compliance documentation is available for 5SY8215-8?

The breaker is certified to IEC / EN 60947-2 and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235. It is halogen-free and silicon-free, which supports RoHS and REACH compliance declarations from the manufacturer.
