Product details

The Siemens 5SL3220-6 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker — a 2-pole, B-curve device rated 20 A with a 4.5 kA breaking capacity per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It's designed for residential and infrastructure branch-circuit protection where the fault level stays under that 4.5 kA ceiling at 400 V AC. If you're feeding motor or transformer circuits that see a higher magnetizing surge, you'd want a C or D curve instead; this one is sized for the less aggressive start.

Thermal derating — the real-world current you can actually run

At 40 °C it derates to 18.79 A; at 45 °C to 18.4 A; at 55 °C to 16.8 A. If your panel runs warm — and most do, especially with adjacent breakers — that 20 A nameplate isn't what you can continuously load. Size your downstream circuit for the derated figure at your actual enclosure ambient.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SL3220-6?

The 5SL3220-6 has a 4.5 kA breaking capacity per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC.

What is the closest functional second-source to the 5SL3220-6?

The 5SL4120-7CC is a 2-pole, 20 A, B-curve MCB from the same SENTRON family, but it carries a 6 kA breaking capacity rather than the 4.5 kA of the 5SL3220-6. It will drop into the same DIN-rail footprint and 2 MW width, but verify the higher fault rating is acceptable for your installation — if your available fault current is under 4.5 kA, the 5SL3220-6 is the correct call.

Where can I buy the 5SL3220-6 and how is it quoted?

The 5SL3220-6 is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SL3220-6?

The 5SL3220-6 carries ratings per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It is halogen-free and silicon-free, and rated for overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2 — consistent with CE-marked installation material for residential and infrastructure use.
