Product details

It is a 2-pole device with 1P+N configuration, meaning it switches both the phase and the neutral conductor — the neutral pole is switched but not protected against overcurrent. The breaker carries a 40 kA rated short-circuit capacity at 230 V AC per IEC 60947-2, and 15 kA at 60 V DC per the same standard. For UL 1077 applications, the interrupting rating is 5 kA.

The D-curve (tripping characteristic class D) means this MCB is built for high inrush loads — motors, transformers, welding equipment — where the starting current can briefly exceed 10× the rated current. The 15 kA DC rating at 60 V covers DC control circuits or battery-backed loads.

The 2-module width (36 mm) occupies two standard 18 mm slots. The neutral conductor is switched internally — no separate neutral bar required for the protected circuit.

Environmental and mechanical limits

Ambient temperature range is -40 °C to +75 °C, with derating above 55 °C: max 95% humidity at 55 °C, 55% at 70 °C, 35% at 75 °C. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5 to 25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25 to 150 Hz.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY8510-8 and how do I get a price?

The 5SY8510-8 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through our independent distribution network. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — send the quantity and delivery window, and we'll come back with a firm offer.

Will 5SY8510-8 drop into a panel that was specified around 5SY4101-7CV without rewiring?

No, the 5SY8510-8 is a different pole configuration (1P+N, 2-pole) and tripping characteristic (D-curve) compared to the 5SY4101-7CV. The 5SY4101-7CV is a 1-pole B-curve breaker. The 5SY8510-8 is 36 mm wide (2 MW) versus 18 mm for the single-pole. Rewiring is required — the neutral switching and wider footprint change the panel layout.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SY8510-8 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?

The 5SY8510-8 is certified to IEC/EN 60947-2 and UL 1077. The housing is halogen-free and silicon-free, which supports RoHS and REACH compliance declarations. Standard Siemens SENTRON documentation includes a declaration of conformity and material data sheet.
