Product details

The D-curve means the instantaneous trip threshold is 10–20× rated current — sized for loads that draw a heavy start surge, then settle. Rated 400 V AC single-phase, 440 V AC multi-phase, and 72 V DC maximum. That's another SKU that stays in the bin for motor branch circuits and high-surge lighting panels.

Rated 3 A at 30 °C ambient. At 40 °C the continuous current drops to 2.84 A; at 45 °C it's 2.76 A; at 55 °C it's 2.59 A. That derating curve is baked into the bimetal element — if the panel runs hot, size up one amp step. The breaker itself survives -40 °C to 75 °C storage and operates up to 55 °C with 95% humidity.

Snaps onto standard DIN rail — 18 mm width, one modular width unit. Mounting position any, so it works in vertical or horizontal busbar arrangements. Sealable, halogen-free, silicon-free. Touch protection built in. No neutral conductor switching — this is a single-pole line-side break only.

Frequently asked questions

What is 5SL4103-8's breaking capacity?

10 kA per IEC 60898 and IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC. That's the short-circuit current it can safely interrupt without welding contacts or rupturing the case.

What does the D tripping characteristic mean for this breaker?

The D-curve trips magnetically at 10–20× rated current (30–60 A for this 3 A unit). It's designed for loads with high inrush — motor starters, transformers, discharge lighting — where a B or C curve would nuisance-trip on startup.

Where can I buy 5SL4103-8?
