It carries a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and a 15 kA rating per IEC 60947-2 — the higher figure applies when the breaker is installed in an industrial panel where the prospective fault current is known and the standard allows the industrial rating. That dual rating is the main thing to check against your panel's SCCR requirement. The 2-pole form factor (36 mm wide, 2 modular width units) snaps onto a standard DIN rail and occupies the same footprint as a typical residential double-pole MCB. Depth is 76 mm, installation depth 70 mm — leaves clearance behind a 100 mm deep enclosure back wall. Rated for multi-phase and single-phase operation up to 440 V AC maximum — covers 400 V three-phase and 230/240 V single-phase circuits. DC rated maximum is 72 V, so it can switch a 48 V or 60 V DC control bus but not a 110 V DC battery bank. Power loss is 2.6 W per pole at rated current in hot operating state — two poles dissipate 5.2 W total. Not rated for frequent manual switching duty like a disconnect. Accepts solid conductors up to 35 mm² — enough for a 50 A feed on the line side.","metaTitle":"Siemens 5SN6232-7CP MCB, 2-Pole, 400 V AC, 6/15 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 5SN6232-7CP 2-pole MCB, 400 V AC, 6 kA (EN 60898) / 15 kA (IEC 60947-2).

The 15 kA figure applies when the breaker is used under the industrial standard, which is the one to check for panel SCCR compliance."},{"question":"Will the 5SN6232-7CP drop into a panel specified for the 5SL6516-6YA?","answer":"The 5SN6232-7CP shares the same 2-pole, 2-modular-width footprint (36 mm wide, 76 mm deep, 90 mm tall) and the same DIN-rail mounting as the 5SL6516-6YA. It also matches the 72 V DC max and 6 kA EN 60898 rating. The main difference is the 5SN carries a 15 kA IEC 60947-2 rating versus the 5SL's 6 kA, so it can be a drop-in upgrade where the panel requires the higher industrial breaking capacity. Verify the load current and tripping characteristic class against your circuit before swapping."},{"question":"Where can I buy the 5SN6232-7CP?","answer":"Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels.
