Product details

The Siemens 5SL4516-7 is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON series, rated 16 A with a C tripping characteristic at 230 V AC. It breaks fault currents up to 10 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 — the same rating under both standards, so you don't have to derate when crossing between residential and industrial coordination studies. The 1P+N design switches the line and switches the neutral, which matters for single-phase final circuits where you want the neutral isolated on a fault.

At 36 mm wide (2 modular width units), this MCB occupies two standard 18 mm DIN-rail slots. Depth is 76 mm, installation depth 70 mm — the same footprint as the wider SENTRON 3P units, so busbar and distribution-block layouts transfer directly.

Frequently asked questions

Will 5SL4516-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?

No — the 5SL4363-7 is a 3P (three-pole) unit at 54 mm wide, while the 5SL4516-7 is 1P+N at 36 mm wide. The depth and height match (76 mm and 90 mm), but the pole count and busbar layout are different. You would need to rework the distribution bus and neutral bar to swap between them.
