Product details

It interrupts fault currents up to 20 kA at 230 V AC per IEC 60947-2, and 15 kA at 60 V DC per the same standard. The UL 1077 listing gives 5 kA for North American panels. This is a current-production part — no lifecycle change on record.

D-curve (10–20× In) is the correct choice for motor, transformer, or welding loads that draw a high inrush without nuisance tripping. At 60 V DC the rating drops to 15 kA; the UL 1077 branch-circuit recognitions sits at 5 kA. The -40 to 75 °C operating range covers cold storage and freezer environments without derating concerns, though the surrounding temperature influence table (95% RH at 55 °C, 55% at 70 °C, 35% at 75 °C) should be checked for high-humidity, high-temp installations.

The quick-assembly fastening system and any-position mounting simplify panel layout. IP20 with connected conductors is standard for enclosed panels; the sealable option (lockable toggle) supports lockout/tagout procedures.

Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 is ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz and 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz.

Frequently asked questions

Will 5SY8563-8 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4116-7CV without rewiring?

No. 5SY8563-8 is 2 MW wide (36 mm) versus 1 MW for 5SY4116-7CV, and it switches the neutral conductor. The panel must have space for the extra width and a neutral feed to the breaker's N terminal.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SY8563-8?

The breaker is certified to IEC/EN 60947-2 and UL 1077. It is halogen-free and silicon-free, which supports RoHS/REACH compliance. Standard documentation includes the declaration of conformity and the UL recognition file.
