Product details

It switches the neutral conductor, so you get a single-module-width (2 MW, 36 mm) device that isolates both poles on a fault.

Panel fit and installation

Depth is 76 mm total; installation depth is 70 mm, which clears most standard enclosure backplates without a spacer. At 36 mm wide (2 modular units), it occupies the same footprint as any other 1P+N 2-MW breaker — no surprises when swapping into an existing SENTRON or third-party distribution board.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SJ6516-6KS?

6 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. That's the standard rating for this class — it safely interrupts faults up to 6 kA at 230 V AC.

What is the width of the 5SJ6516-6KS in modular units?

2 modular width units, which is 36 mm. That's standard for a 1P+N breaker with switched neutral.

Does the 5SJ6516-6KS switch the neutral conductor?

Yes, it has neutral conductor switching built in — both poles open on a fault, so the downstream circuit is fully isolated.

Where can I buy the 5SJ6516-6KS?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.
