Siemens SENTRON 5SL3606-7 — 6 A C-Curve MCB, 3P+N, 4.5 kA
The Siemens SENTRON 5SL3606-7 is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker (3P+N) rated at 6 A with a C-trip characteristic, designed for 400 V AC residential and infrastructure branch circuits. Its 4.5 kA interrupting capacity per EN 60898 and 5 kA per IEC 60947-2 cover standard lighting, socket-outlet, and light commercial loads where fault levels stay under that threshold.
The C-curve (trips at 5–10× rated current) suits circuits with moderate inrush — think small motors, transformers, or groups of LED drivers — where a B-curve would nuisance-trip but a D-curve would delay too long for cable protection. The 6 A rating protects 1.5 mm² copper conductors in standard PVC installation methods. At 400 V AC, the 4.5 kA (EN 60898) / 5 kA (IEC 60947-2) SCCR means the breaker clears faults up to that level without welding contacts or cascading failure upstream — verify your prospective short-circuit current at the panelboard before specifying. The 3P+N design switches all three phases and switches the neutral, which is required in some regional wiring rules (e.g., UK, Australia) for final subcircuits where the neutral is not solidly bonded.
Any mounting position is permitted. Sealable with a lockable cover to prevent unauthorized operation. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction reduces corrosive gas risk in confined enclosures.
