The Siemens SENTRON 5SL4601-6 is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker (3P+N) with B tripping characteristic, rated 1 A at 400 V AC. Breaking capacity is 10 kA under both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, so it handles fault currents up to that level without upstream cascade — a solid figure for residential or light commercial distribution boards where the prospective short-circuit current is known. Terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 to 25 mm², tightened to 2.5–3 N·m. The 4 MW width (72 mm) snaps onto standard DIN rail; installation depth is 70 mm, overall depth 76 mm. Sealable, halogen-free, silicon-free — suited for environments where outgassing or tamper evidence matters.
