The 5SY8432-8: The D-curve means the magnetic trip threshold is 10–20× In, so it holds through the startup surge of a 32 A motor or a bank of switched-mode supplies without dropping out. At 32 A rated current, it's sized for a 3-phase load drawing about 22 kW at 400 V. The 15 kA DC rating at 72 V max covers control-circuit protection in DC bus applications, though it's primarily an AC breaker. Temperature derating is built in: at 45 °C it still carries the full 32 A, but at 55 °C it's 30.37 A, and at 50 °C it's 31.2 A (–).
Mounting position is any, so vertical or horizontal orientation is fine.
Current-production part in the Siemens SENTRON family. No LTB or phase-out notice.
The 5SY8432-8 carries the SENTRON brand designation and is classified per EN 61346-2 and IEC 81346-2 as function F. Vibration resistance tested per IEC 60068-2-6 — ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz — so it holds up on machinery with moderate vibration. The sealable feature allows tamper-proof locking of the toggle, useful for critical circuits.
