Product details

The 4.5 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC (per EN 60898) tells you this MCB can safely interrupt a fault current up to 4.5 kA without welding its contacts or failing open; that is sufficient for most residential and light commercial sub-distribution boards, but if your fault current at the panel exceeds 4.5 kA you need the higher-rated 5SL4363-7 sibling (10 kA). Single-phase operation is rated at 250 V AC. The DC rating tops out at 72 V — so this is primarily an AC device; do not spec it for a 110 V DC string unless you stay under that ceiling.

The 3 MW width (54 mm) means it occupies three adjacent 18 mm slots — check your rail fill before committing. That is adequate for a distribution breaker that cycles infrequently; if your design calls for frequent switching (e.g., a load-shedding contactor), this is not the part for that duty.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SL3340-7MB?

The 5SL3340-7MB has a breaking capacity of 4.5 kA at 400 V AC per EN 60898. This is sufficient for most residential and light commercial sub-distribution boards, but if your available fault current exceeds 4.5 kA, consider the 5SL4363-7 which offers 10 kA.

Will the 5SL3340-7MB fit in a panel designed for the 5SL4363-7?

Yes, both the 5SL3340-7MB and the 5SL4363-7 share the same physical footprint: 3 MW width (54 mm), 76 mm depth, 70 mm installation depth, and 90 mm height. They mount on the same DIN rail and accept the same supplementary devices. The only difference is the breaking capacity — 4.5 kA vs 10 kA — so the swap is mechanical but not electrical if your fault current requires the higher rating.

Where can I buy the 5SL3340-7MB?

The 5SL3340-7MB is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.

What is the operating temperature range for the 5SL3340-7MB?

The 5SL3340-7MB operates from -40 °C to +75 °C, covering extreme cold storage and hot panel environments.
