Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL4503-8 is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker with a D tripping characteristic, rated 3 A at 230 V AC, and a 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It switches the neutral conductor, so it is a switched-neutral MCB, not a common 1P unit that leaves the neutral solid.

Ratings that matter for fit

The 3 A rating derates with ambient temperature: 2.88 A at 40 °C, 2.69 A at 55 °C.

Panel integration

Snap-on DIN-rail mounting in any position. Terminal touch protection is built in.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SL4503-8?

10 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. That is the maximum prospective fault current it can safely interrupt at 230 V AC.

What does the D curve mean for a 3 A MCB?

The D tripping characteristic allows momentary inrush currents 10–20 times the 3 A rating before the magnetic trip operates. This suits loads with high starting currents — small motors, transformers, or capacitive loads — without nuisance tripping.

Where can I buy the 5SL4503-8?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Does the 5SL4503-8 switch the neutral?

Yes, it is a 1P+N design with neutral-conductor switching. Both the phase and neutral poles open and close together, isolating the load completely.
