Product details

At 1 A rated current, this is a low-current branch protection for control transformers or lighting contactor coils, not a main feeder.

Mounting position is unrestricted. The IP20 rating applies only with connected conductors — standard for distribution-board internal use, not for exposed outdoor panels without an enclosure. Terminals are sealable, halogen-free and silicon-free construction. Ambient temperature range spans -40 °C to +75 °C, with derated current values above 30 °C (0.96 A at 40 °C, 0.94 A at 45 °C, 0.9 A at 55 °C).

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SL4601-8 and get a price?

The 5SL4601-8 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SL4601-8?

The breaking capacity is 10 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SL4601-8?

The 5SL4601-8 carries IEC 60947-2 and EN 60898 ratings, overvoltage category III, pollution degree 2, and is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens declarations (CE, UKCA) apply per the product's distribution-board classification.
