Siemens 5SL4 Series Miniature Circuit Breaker, 16A Current, 400V ac Rated Voltage - 5SL4216-7


This miniature circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection for alternating-current installations and is suited to distribution panels mounted on DIN-rail systems. It is designed for two-pole switching with a Type C tripping characteristic, offering selective protection for circuits up to 16A. The device is intended for use where Compact protection with standard screw connections and touch protection is required.

Features and Benefits:


• 10kA breaking capacity for effective fault clearing
• Type C tripping characteristic for general load protection
• 72V DC rated capability supports battery-charging systems
• Screw Terminal connection for secure conductor retention
• IP20 protection class when conductors are connected

Applications


• Suitable for residential electrical distribution panels
• Ideal for infrastructure and small commercial installations
• Used with 400V AC three-phase supplies up to 50/60Hz
• Can be used in battery-charging circuits with Peak voltages

What conductor sizes can be terminated under the screws?


It accepts solid, stranded and finely stranded conductors from 0.75mm² up to 25mm².

How does ambient temperature affect allowable current?


Rated current is 16A at 30°C, reducing to 14.78A at 40°C and 12.74A at 55°C.

What mechanical durability can be expected from the device?


The breaker is specified for a typical mechanical service life of 10,000 operating cycles.

What mounting and installation constraints apply?


It is designed for DIN-rail mounting and can be installed in any mounting position.
