Product details

It's a magnetic-only trip unit — no thermal bimetal, so it's built for applications where short-circuit protection is the priority and overloads are handled upstream or by the load itself.

Rated 10 A continuous, it'll hold a 4 kW motor on 400 V three-phase without tripping on start. The 40 kA IEC 60947-2 rating is the headline number for industrial panels; the UL 1077 listing at 5 kA covers North American branch circuits. Pollution degree 3 (industrial environment) and overvoltage category III (distribution level) mean it's rated for the dirt and spikes you see in a real panel.

Mounts in any position. IP20 with connected conductors is standard for enclosed panels; keep the front cover on.

The 5SY series is a broad SENTRON family; this variant is the magnetic-only D10 3-pole. No direct replacement needed — it's the active part.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SY8310-8BB08 and how is it quoted?

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 5SY8310-8BB08?

40 kA at 440 V AC per IEC 60947-2, and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235.

What tripping curve does the 5SY8310-8BB08 use?

D-curve, magnetic-only trip — no thermal element. Designed for motor and transformer primary protection where inrush is high.

Will the 5SY8310-8BB08 fit a panel designed for a 5SY4304-7CV?

Both are 3-pole, DIN-rail mount, same modular width per pole. The 5SY8310-8BB08 is a D10 magnetic-only; the 5SY4304-7CV is a different rating and characteristic — check the specific current and curve before swapping.
