Product details

What the ratings mean for your panel

The 5SL4220-7: The C-curve trips between 5× and 10× rated current — 100 A to 200 A magnetic release — which is the standard choice for mixed resistive and moderate inductive loads like lighting, small motor circuits, and general-purpose socket outlets. The 2-pole design switches both phase and neutral, giving full isolation on single-phase circuits. It occupies 2 modular width units on a DIN rail, so it fits a standard 18 mm-per-module enclosure. The 76 mm depth and 70 mm installation depth mean it clears most domestic and light commercial distribution boards without a deep-can issue. Rated for overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2, it's suited for fixed installations downstream of the utility meter. The IP20 rating is typical for enclosed distribution boards — no special washdown protection, but fine inside a cabinet. Operating temperature spans -40 °C to 75 °C, so it handles unheated utility rooms or outdoor enclosures in moderate climates.

Frequently asked questions

Will 5SL4220-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?

No — the 5SL4220-7 is a 2-pole breaker occupying 2 MW units (36 mm wide), while the 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole breaker at 3 MW units (54 mm wide). The panel's DIN-rail space and wiring scheme would need rework.
