Rated voltage is 400 V AC, max multi-phase 440 V AC. The 13 A D-curve is sized for a load that draws around 10–12 A steady but sees a short inrush — think a small compressor, a pump motor, or a bank of switching power supplies. Energy limiting class 3 tells you it restricts let-through energy, which helps with downstream component coordination. Terminals accept 0.75–25 mm² solid or stranded, tightened to 2.5–3 N·m. That covers most panel wiring up to 4 mm² comfortably, and the 25 mm² max lets you land a larger feeder if needed. The housing is 36 mm wide (2 width units,), 90 mm tall, 76 mm deep — standard DIN-rail footprint, no surprises. IP20 with conductors connected is normal for a panel-mounted MCB; it's not for wet locations. ## Deployment context Rated for ambient -25 to +55 °C and up to 95% humidity — fine for a ventilated electrical room or a weatherproof outdoor enclosure as long as it's IP-rated at the cabinet level. The sealable feature means you can lock the toggle to prevent unauthorized reset.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL4213-8 SENTRON MCB, 2P D 13 A, 10 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SL4213-8 SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 2-pole, D-curve, 13 A, 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 & IEC 60947-2.
