Product details

It breaks 4.5 kA per EN 60898 at 230 V AC and 5 kA per IEC 60947-2 — the higher figure governs the SCCR for industrial panel coordination. Rated for residential and infrastructure duty, but the 5 kA IEC rating makes it usable in light commercial sub-distribution where fault levels stay under that threshold.

The 36 mm width occupies two 18 mm modular spaces — plan your DIN-rail fill factor accordingly. Sealable housing allows tamper-proofing in metered or public-access panels.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL3516-7?

4.5 kA per EN 60898 at 230 V AC, and 5 kA per IEC 60947-2. The IEC figure is the one to use for industrial panel SCCR calculations.

Will 5SL3516-7 drop into a panel specified for 5SL4363-7?

No — the 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole, 63 A breaker with 10 kA breaking capacity and 54 mm width. The 5SL3516-7 is 2-pole, 16 A, 4.5/5 kA, and 36 mm wide. The footprint, rating, and fault-handling differ; they are not drop-in substitutes.

Where can I buy the 5SL3516-7?
