The Siemens 5SY8310-8 is a SENTRON 5SY8-series miniature circuit breaker (MCB), 3-pole configuration, designed for low-voltage electrical distribution and circuit protection. It provides reliable overload and short-circuit protection for industrial, commercial, and residential electrical installations. The compact 3-pole design and DIN-rail mounting make it suitable for installation in distribution boards and control panels.
Ideal for protection of distribution circuits in electrical panels, the 5SY8310-8 is used to safeguard lighting, motor, and general power circuits from overloads and short-circuits. It is suitable for small to medium industrial installations, commercial buildings, and residential distribution boards requiring 3-phase protection. It also serves well in machine control panels, HVAC systems, and distribution boards where compact 3-pole circuit protection is needed.
