Siemens 5SP4480-8RC MCB 80A 4-Pole D Characteristic 10kA

The Siemens 5SP4480-8RC is a SENTRON 5SP4 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for reliable protection of electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions. This Siemens MCB features an 80 A rated current, 4-pole configuration, D tripping characteristic and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, commercial and electrical distribution applications.

The 4-pole Siemens 5SP4 MCB is designed for applications where reliable circuit protection and switching are required across a multi-pole electrical system. Its D characteristic is particularly suitable for circuits containing equipment with comparatively high starting or inrush currents, such as certain motors, transformers and other inductive loads, when the protection system is correctly selected and coordinated.

With an 80 A current rating, the 5SP4480-8RC can be used in electrical distribution systems where higher current protection is required. The 10 kA breaking capacity provides the capability to interrupt specified short-circuit currents safely within its applicable ratings, helping protect connected cables, equipment and electrical installations from potentially damaging fault conditions.

As part of the Siemens SENTRON 5SP4 family, this MCB is suitable for professional electrical installations, industrial control panels, distribution boards, machinery and infrastructure applications. Its compact modular construction makes it convenient for integration into modern electrical distribution and control systems.

The Siemens 5SP4480-8RC 80A 4P MCB is also suitable for panel builders, OEMs, electrical contractors and system integrators looking for dependable Siemens circuit protection equipment. When selecting an MCB, the rated current, number of poles, tripping characteristic, prospective short-circuit current, cable capacity and coordination with other protective devices should always be considered.

Benefits

The Siemens 5SP4480-8RC provides dependable circuit protection for electrical systems requiring an 80 A 4-pole MCB with D characteristic. Its D tripping characteristic can make it suitable for applications where connected equipment produces higher temporary starting currents, provided the complete protection system is properly designed.

The 10 kA breaking capacity is an important feature for installations where the prospective short-circuit level requires a higher-rated protective device. By interrupting fault currents within its specified ratings, the MCB helps protect electrical wiring and connected equipment from the effects of overload and short circuits.

The 4-pole configuration is useful in electrical systems where multiple conductors need to be controlled or protected through a single compact protective device. This can simplify panel design and provide a clean, organized solution for electrical distribution applications.

For industrial panel builders and OEMs, the Siemens 5SP4 platform offers a standardized approach to circuit protection. Compatible Siemens accessories can also be selected where additional auxiliary signalling, fault indication or other monitoring functions are required.

For applications across India, the Siemens 80A MCB can be considered for industrial facilities, commercial buildings, machinery installations, manufacturing plants and electrical distribution projects in locations such as Faridabad, Delhi NCR, Noida, Gurgaon/Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru/Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Ludhiana and other major industrial markets.

Always verify the exact electrical requirements, installation conditions, short-circuit level and coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices before selecting the MCB.
