It provides a 10 kA breaking capacity under both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, which means it can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level in residential and infrastructure distribution boards. The 4-module-width (72 mm) body snaps onto standard DIN rail and accepts supplementary devices like shunt trips or auxiliary contacts. ## What the ratings mean for fit The 10 kA breaking capacity is the headline number for this class — it tells you the MCB can clear a bolted fault on a 400 V supply without welding its contacts or rupturing the case. That matches typical domestic and light commercial service-entrance requirements where the prospective short-circuit current stays under 10 kA. The C-curve trips between 5 and 10 times rated current, so it's sized for inductive loads like small motors, fluorescent lighting banks, or transformer inrush — not for pure resistive heaters (B-curve territory) or heavy motor starts (D-curve). The 4-pole 3P+N design switches all three phases and the neutral, with the neutral pole switching but not protecting — standard for TN or TT systems where you need a switched neutral for isolation. The 72 V DC maximum rating is a secondary capability for control circuits, not the primary application. Power loss per pole is 0.9 W at rated current in hot operating state. For a 4-pole breaker at full load that's 3.6 W total dissipated inside the enclosure — negligible in a ventilated board, but worth noting if you're packing multiple breakers into a sealed, thermally constrained panel. ## Panel integration and compliance Mounts on DIN rail in any position. The 72 mm width occupies 4 modular units. Installation depth behind the panel face is 70 mm, overall depth 76 mm. IP20 with connected conductors — protected against finger contact but not against moisture, so it belongs inside a distribution board, not in a washdown zone. Overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2 confirm it's rated for fixed-installation mains supply. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction — relevant for environments where outgassing from a fault could damage sensitive electronics or where silicone contamination must be avoided. Sealable for lockout/tagout compliance. Mechanical service life is 10,000 operating cycles typical.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL4610-7 SENTRON MCB, 4P C-Curve 10A 10kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SL4610-7 SENTRON miniature circuit breaker, 4-pole (3P+N), C-curve, 10 A, 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898/IEC 60947-2.
