Product details

The 4-pole design with neutral conductor switching means the neutral pole opens and closes with the phases, which is required for TN-S or TT systems where you need full isolation on all poles.

For DC circuits, it's rated 15 kA per the same standard. If you're specifying for a UL 489 panel, note the UL 1077 listing at 5 kA — that's a supplementary protector rating, not a branch-circuit rating, so check your panel SCCR requirements before committing the BOM line. The D curve's magnetic trip threshold is 10 to 20 times In (200 to 400 A for this 20 A unit), which coordinates well downstream of a larger SENTRON MCCB or an NH fuse. Upstream selectivity with a 63 A gG fuse is achievable for fault currents up to around 6 kA — typical for a sub-distribution board feeding motor groups.

Rated for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to 75 °C, with derating above 45 °C: 20 A at 45 °C, 19.5 A at 50 °C, 18.98 A at 55 °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

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SY8620-8?

30 kA at 400 V AC per IEC 60947-2, 15 kA at DC per the same standard, and 5 kA per UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235.

What does the D tripping characteristic mean for this MCB?

The D curve trips magnetically at 10 to 20 times the rated current (200–400 A for this 20 A unit), making it suitable for loads with high inrush like motors, transformers, and welding equipment.

Where can I buy the 5SY8620-8 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What compliance documentation is available for the 5SY8620-8?

The MCB carries IEC 60947-2, UL 1077, and CSA C22.2 No. 235 certifications. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Specific RoHS/REACH declarations are provided with the shipment documentation.
