It occupies two modular-width units (36 mm) on the DIN rail, which is standard for a 1P+N MCB that switches both phase and neutral. The 6 kA rated short-circuit capacity per EN 60898 is the standard domestic-grade breaking capacity — it's sized for the typical fault levels in residential and commercial sub-distribution boards. The B characteristic means magnetic trip at 3 to 5 times In (3 to 5 A), so it's a good fit for cable protection and general-purpose loads that don't draw a heavy starting surge. The 1P+N design switches both the phase conductor and the neutral, which is required by some national wiring regulations for final circuits. The neutral pole is not overcurrent-protected — it's a switched neutral, not a protected pole. The MCB is sealable (padlockable in the OFF position) for lockout/tagout.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SL6501-6CC SENTRON MCB, 1 A, B Curve, 1P+N, 6 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 5SL6501-6CC miniature circuit breaker, 1 A, B characteristic, 1P+N, 6 kA per EN 60898, 230 V AC.

This is the standard domestic-grade breaking capacity for residential and commercial sub-distribution boards."},{"question":"What does the B curve mean on this MCB?","answer":"The B tripping characteristic means the magnetic trip operates at 3 to 5 times rated current (3 to 5 A for this 1 A unit). It's designed for cable protection and resistive loads that don't draw high inrush currents."},{"question":"Will 5SL6501-6CC drop into a panel specified around 5SL6120-7?","answer":"No — the 5SL6501-6CC is 36 mm wide (2 modular units) for its 1P+N design, while the 5SL6120-7 is 18 mm wide (1 modular unit) for a 1P design. The 5SL6501-6CC also switches the neutral, so the wiring differs. They are not footprint-compatible without rewiring and re-spacing on the DIN rail."},{"question":"Where can I buy 5SL6501-6CC?","answer":"This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution.
