It breaks faults up to 3 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 230/400 V AC, 50/60 Hz — enough for most domestic and light commercial distribution boards where the available fault current stays under that threshold.
Fit and panel integration
Mounting position is unrestricted — horizontal, vertical, or flat — which helps when routing conductors in a crowded enclosure.
Electrical ratings in context
Rated for 230 V AC single-phase and 400 V AC three-phase (multi-phase operation up to 440 V AC max). In a residential board with a typical upstream transformer impedance, that's usually adequate; if your service entrance has a higher prospective short-circuit current, you'll need a higher-rated device (like the 10 kA rated 5SL4363-7). For a multi-breaker board, factor that into thermal derating if the ambient is near the 75 °C max. Mechanical life is 4,000 operating cycles typical — fine for a distribution board where the breaker sees infrequent switching. Not intended for daily load-switching duty; that's what a contactor or switch-disconnector is for.
