Product details

It breaks fault currents up to 10 kA at 400 V AC, certified to both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 — the dual rating means it qualifies for residential/infrastructure panels (EN 60898) and industrial control circuits (IEC 60947-2) without a separate spec review.

C-curve trips between 5× and 10× rated current (5–10 A for this 1 A unit), so it handles moderate inrush from small motor starters, contactor coils, or lighting ballasts without nuisance tripping. Two-pole switching (2P) means both line and neutral are disconnected on fault or manual isolation — required for single-phase final subcircuits in many national wiring rules. Frequency range is 50/60 Hz, so it works on either mains standard without derating.

Sealable (can be locked in OFF position with a padlock) for lockout/tagout compliance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL4201-7?

10 kA at 400 V AC, certified to both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. That dual rating covers residential/infrastructure and industrial control-panel applications.

Will 5SL4201-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SL4363-7?

Not without rewiring. The 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole unit (54 mm wide, 3 modular units), while the 5SL4201-7 is 2-pole (36 mm wide, 2 modular units). The DIN-rail mounting and 76 mm depth are the same, but the pole count and width differ — you would need to re-terminate the third phase and adjust the enclosure fill.

Where can I buy 5SL4201-7?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
