Ratings and deployment context
The Siemens 5SL4108-7CC is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 8 A with a C-trip curve, breaking 10 kA at 230/400 V AC. The C-curve means the magnetic trip operates at 5 to 10 times rated current — standard for motor and lighting circuits where inrush is moderate. The 10 kA breaking capacity at 400 V covers most commercial and light-industrial panelboard fault levels; verify the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation stays within this rating.
