Sprecher Schuh L9-5/2/D Miniature Circuit Breaker 5A 2-pole

Product Description

The SPRECHER SCHUH L9-5/2/D is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated at 5 amps with a Curve D trip characteristic and UL489 listing. It provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection in low-voltage distribution and control panel applications. The Curve D curve is suited for loads with high inrush currents, such as transformers and solenoids, where standard Curve B or C breakers would nuisance-trip. Rated for 480Y/277V AC and 96V DC, this breaker covers a broad range of industrial and commercial power distribution scenarios. Licensed electricians and panel builders typically install this device during new construction or retrofit work.

This breaker is designed for use in industrial control panels, motor control centers, and commercial electrical distribution equipment where compact DIN-rail-mount protection is required. The 2-pole configuration makes it appropriate for single-phase 240V branch circuits or for protecting two-wire DC control circuits simultaneously. Its UL489 listing confirms it meets the branch-circuit breaker standard required by NEC-governed installations in the United States.

Key Features

• Rated 480Y/277V AC and 96V DC for versatile panel applications
• UL489 listed for branch-circuit protection per NEC requirements
• Miniature form factor suitable for DIN-rail-mount control enclosures
• Country of origin: Germany

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN-rail-mount miniature circuit breaker for industrial control panels and commercial electrical distribution equipment requiring UL489-listed branch-circuit protection at 480Y/277V AC or 96V DC.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panel completely and verify absence of voltage before handling or wiring the breaker. Ensure conductors are properly sized and torqued to panel and breaker terminal specifications per the manufacturer documentation. Do not exceed the rated voltage or amperage for either AC or DC applications.
