Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of the Type C tripping curve on the Siemens 5SY6108-7 circuit breaker?

The Type C tripping curve on the Siemens 5SY6108-7 allows it to tolerate temporary inrush currents of 5 to 10 times its rated current before tripping. This makes it ideal for circuits with inductive loads like motors or transformers that draw a higher current momentarily during startup.
