The Siemens 5SL4606-6 is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker — 3P+N, B-curve, rated 6 A at 400 V AC, with a 10 kA breaking capacity certified to both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. That dual standard matters: EN 60898 covers residential and commercial final circuits, while IEC 60947-2 qualifies it for industrial panel applications where the fault current can hit 10 kA. The 3P+N design switches all three phases and switches the neutral — no separate neutral bar needed downstream.
Panel fit and environmental tolerance
Mounting position is unrestricted — horizontal, vertical, flat — so you can lay out the DIN rail however the gland plate dictates. Sealable with a lead seal, halogen-free and silicon-free — compliant for clean-room or food-processing zones where outgassing matters.
Power loss and auxiliary add-ons
Each pole dissipates 1.9 W at rated current in hot operating state — about 7.6 W total for the 4-pole assembly. That's low enough to skip forced cooling in a typical 12-way distribution board, but worth tallying if you're packing 20+ breakers in a sealed enclosure. The product accepts supplementary devices (shunt trip, auxiliary contacts, alarm switch) on the left side, so you can add remote tripping or status feedback without swapping the base breaker.
