What the ratings mean for fit
The 5SL4232-8CC: The D-curve (10–20× In) means this breaker is designed for loads with high inrush currents — typically motor circuits, transformers, or lighting ballasts — where a B or C curve would nuisance-trip on startup. The 10 kA breaking capacity at 400 V tells you it can safely interrupt a fault current up to that level without welding contacts or cascading upstream, which is standard for distribution panels in industrial and commercial buildings. The 2-pole configuration switches both phase conductors, suitable for single-phase 230 V line-to-neutral or line-to-line circuits, or for protecting two legs of a three-phase system.
Compliance and regulatory documentation
RoHS compliant since 01-06-13, and carries a REACH Article 33 duty-to-inform for Lead (CAS-No. 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: N, so no special export license is required for most destinations.
