The Siemens 5SL4516-8CC is a 1+N-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SL4 series, rated at 16 A with a D tripping characteristic and a 10 kA breaking capacity at 230 V AC. The D curve means it tolerates inrush currents up to 10–20× the rated current before tripping — sized for motor and transformer branch circuits where the startup surge would nuisance-trip a B or C curve breaker. The 1+N configuration switches the line conductor and provides neutral disconnection, which is standard for single-phase final circuits in European distribution boards.
RoHS compliant since June 2013, with REACH candidate list information available on request. The export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: N, meaning no special licensing is required for cross-border shipment under current regulations. Group Code P310 and Product Group 3824 are Siemens internal classification codes used for catalog sorting and spare-parts identification.
