It carries a 15 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2, making it suitable for industrial branch-circuit protection where higher fault currents are expected than residential-grade MCBs handle. Rated for single-phase operation at 240 V AC and multi-phase at 440 V AC, 50/60 Hz. ## Breaking capacity and trip curve The 15 kA rating under EN 60898 is the standard for final circuits in buildings; the 20 kA under IEC 60947-2 covers industrial panel applications where the prospective short-circuit current is higher. The C-curve (5–10× In) is the default for general-purpose loads — lighting, small motor circuits, control transformers — where inrush is moderate. That figure matters for thermal coordination inside a crowded enclosure — 1.7 W per pole is low enough that derating is minimal in a standard 20 °C ambient. Dimensions: 90 mm high, 76 mm deep, 18 mm wide — fits a standard 1 MW DIN-rail slot. Installation depth is 70 mm, leaving 6 mm behind the rail for wiring clearance. Sealable with a lead seal or adhesive label to prevent tamper — common for utility-metering or tenant-submetering applications. Vibration-resistant per IEC 60068-2-6; mechanical life is 10 000 operating cycles typical.","metaTitle":"Siemens Betagard 5SL7116-7RC MCB, 1P C16, 15/20 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens Betagard 5SL7116-7RC miniature circuit breaker, 1-pole, C-curve, 16 A, 15 kA (EN 60898) / 20 kA (IEC 60947-2) breaking capacity.

The 5SL7116-7RC has a higher breaking capacity (15/20 kA vs 6 kA) and is rated for 240/440 V AC vs 230 V AC. It fits the same DIN-rail slot but check the upstream fault level — the Betagard is a different brand line (Betagard vs SENTRON) so panel documentation may need updating."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/5SL7116-7RC","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/5SL7116-7RC when reusing this data.
