It breaks 4.5 kA per EN 60898 and 5 kA per IEC 60947-2, so it handles typical residential and light commercial fault levels without cascading upstream. The C curve means it tolerates moderate inrush — fine for general-purpose loads like lighting, receptacles, and small motor circuits.
Derating and ambient range
At 40 °C it derates to 37.57 A, at 45 °C to 36.8 A, and at 55 °C to 33.61 A. If your panel runs warm — common in a crowded enclosure — factor the derating into the load schedule.
The 5SL3140-7 occupies one modular width (18 mm) on a DIN rail.
