The Siemens 5SY4205-8 is a robust circuit breaker designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection in a variety of industrial applications. This two-pole device is rated for a 0.5A current and is suitable for both AC and DC operations, with a rated voltage of 400V for AC. It features a D tripping characteristic, ensuring precise protection for devices with high inrush currents, such as motors and transformers.
Constructed with a quick assembly system, the 5SY4205-8 allows for efficient installation and maintenance. Its compact design, with a width of 36mm and a depth of 76mm, makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained environments. The circuit breaker is engineered to fit into a standardised modular width unit, taking up only two units on a DIN rail, which simplifies planning and integration into electrical distribution boards.
The 5SY4205-8 is designed with safety and durability in mind. It is halogen-free and silicon-free, reducing the risk of toxic gas emissions in the event of a fire. The device is also sealable, providing an additional layer of security against unauthorised adjustments. With a mechanical operating life of typically 20,000 cycles, it is built to last and perform reliably over time.
This circuit breaker is compliant with international standards, including IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2, as well as UL1077 and CSA C22.2 No.235 for short-circuit current breaking capacity, which is rated at 5kA. It can operate in a wide range of ambient temperatures, from -40°C to 70°C, ensuring consistent performance even in extreme conditions.
The Siemens 5SY4205-8 is a testament to Siemens' commitment to quality and innovation, providing a dependable solution for protecting electrical circuits in industrial settings across the United Kingdom and beyond.
