Siemens 5SY6216-7 Supplementary Protector 2P 480V

Product Description

The SIEMENS 5SY6216-7 is a 2-pole supplementary protector in the 5SY6 series, rated for 480 volts. Supplementary protectors provide overcurrent and short-circuit protection for individual loads and branch circuits in industrial control panels, machinery, and equipment enclosures. Unlike branch circuit breakers, they are intended to protect downstream components rather than serve as the primary service disconnect. Licensed electricians and controls technicians install these devices in compliance with NEC and applicable equipment standards.

This protector is suited for commercial and industrial applications where 2-pole overcurrent protection is required at 480 volts. Typical installations include motor control centers, machine control panels, power distribution boards, and HVAC equipment control enclosures. The compact DIN-rail-mount form factor of the 5SY6 series makes it a practical fit for high-density panel layouts where space is limited.
