It's designed for magnetic-only operation — no thermal bimetal inside — so it handles high inrush loads like motors, transformers, and welding equipment without nuisance tripping on startup. On the UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235 side it carries 5 kA, so keep that in mind if the installation is under North American code — the higher IEC number doesn't transfer.
The screw terminals torque to 2.5–3.5 N·m, and both top and bottom are combined (neutral and phase share the same terminal type).
Solid or stranded from 0.75 mm² up to 35 mm², with screw terminals torqued to 2.5–3.5 N·m.
Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint with the same terminal range, so mechanical fit is identical. The difference is the tripping curve — this is D-curve (magnetic-only), while the 5SY7140-8CC is a different characteristic. Verify the load's inrush profile before swapping.
