Product details

It's designed for residential and infrastructure panels where motor or transformer inrush currents need a higher magnetic trip threshold than a B or C curve provides. The D curve means the magnetic trip is set to 10–20 times In (40–80 A), so it won't nuisance-trip on startup surges but still clears a hard fault. Rated voltage is 400 V AC between phases, with a maximum of 440 V AC for multi-phase operation.

In a panel, that's sized for a branch circuit with a total load under about 2.8 kW (assuming a balanced three-phase load). The D curve is the key decision point here — if your circuit has a motor, transformer, or LED driver with a high inrush, a C-curve breaker might trip on startup. This one holds through that surge. Mount it inside a panel with an IP-rated enclosure.

Tightening torque is 2.5 to 3 N·m.

Frequently asked questions

What is 5SL4604-8's listed depth?

The overall depth is 76 mm. Installation depth (the dimension behind the panel face) is 70 mm.

What conductor sizes does the 5SL4604-8 accept?

Solid conductors from 0.75 to 25 mm², stranded conductors from 0.75 to 25 mm². Terminals are screw-type with a tightening torque of 2.5 to 3 N·m.

Will 5SL4604-8 drop into a panel specified around 5SL6563-7BB?

Both are 5SL series breakers on the same DIN-rail footprint (4 width units, 72 mm), so the mechanical fit is identical. The difference is electrical: the 5SL4604-8 is a 4 A D-curve 3P+N, while the 5SL6563-7BB is a different rating and characteristic. Verify the circuit's load and fault current before swapping.
