Frequently asked questions

When would you choose the Siemens 5SY4216-7 C-curve breaker over a B-curve?

You would choose the Siemens 5SY4216-7 C-curve breaker for circuits with moderate inrush currents, typically 5 to 10 times the rated current. This is common for lighting, power outlets, and small motors, where a B-curve might trip too easily.
