IFM · circuit breaker
KN5108 is an IFM circuit breaker with Rated operational voltage <= 440 V AC; Breaking capacity Icu/Ics no; Supply voltage 10...30 V DC (IEC 60947-5-2). It is used in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders where the installed unit is matched to the original catalog number and a compact, documented part is required.

Where it sits in the control system
The KN5108 is the device-level element in an IFM circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 10...30 V DC (IEC 60947-5-2) — and switches or conditions the load within the <= 440 V AC ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides non-flush mountable support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.

Common questions about KN5108
Q.Where can I find the enclosure rating data for KN5108?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM KN5108 as IP20 (IEC 60529). Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.For KN5108, what does the specification table state about certifications?
The specification table lists certifications = CE, cULus for IFM KN5108. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Which value is published under mounting for catalog number KN5108?
For KN5108, mounting is given as non-flush mountable. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Can the KN5108 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number KN5108 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of KN5108 before ordering?
Match the catalog number KN5108 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
