For most commercial and light industrial panels fed by a transformer of 500 kVA or less, 10 kA at 400 V provides adequate SCCR headroom; above that, you'd step up to a 15 or 25 kA device. At elevated panel temperatures the breaker derates: 14.78 A at 40 °C, 14.08 A at 45 °C, and 12.74 A at 55 °C. If the panel runs hot — near a drive or transformer — factor the derated value into your load calculation. Voltage rating is 400 V AC line-to-line for multi-phase operation, with a maximum of 440 V AC. DC rating is 72 V maximum — not a DC-main breaker, but fine for control-circuit tap-offs. The 4-module-width housing (72 mm wide) occupies four 18 mm slots. Mounting position is unrestricted — horizontal, vertical, or flat — so it fits tight enclosures without derating. Sealable, halogen-free, and silicon-free housing suits environments where outgassing or contamination is a concern. The 5SL4616-8 is a standard catalog item in the Siemens SENTRON family, widely specified across European and Middle East infrastructure projects.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 5SL4616-8 MCB, 4P D 16A 10kA 400V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 5SL4616-8 miniature circuit breaker, 4-pole, D-curve, 16 A, 10 kA breaking capacity per IEC 60898 and IEC 60947-2.
