Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SY8425-8BB08 is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 25 A at 400 V AC, with a D tripping characteristic and a breaking capacity of 30 kA per IEC 60947-2. It uses only magnetic tripping — no thermal bimetal — so it's built for short-circuit protection of circuits with high inrush loads like motor starters or transformers, where a standard thermal-magnetic breaker might nuisance-trip on startup.

The 30 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC (IEC 60947-2) tells you this breaker can safely interrupt a fault current up to 30 kA without welding or exploding — that's the SCCR the panel needs to coordinate with upstream gear. The D curve means the magnetic trip threshold is 10 to 20 times rated current (250 to 500 A), which avoids nuisance trips on motor inrush or transformer magnetizing current.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SY8425-8BB08?

30 kA at 400 V AC per IEC 60947-2.

Where can I buy 5SY8425-8BB08?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Does 5SY8425-8BB08 switch the neutral?
