Product details

Siemens SENTRON 5SL4606-8 — D-curve 6 A 4-pole MCB for motor and transformer circuits

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL4606-8 is a 4-pole (3P+N) miniature circuit breaker rated 6 A at 400 V AC with a D tripping characteristic and 10 kA breaking capacity per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. Rated for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +75 °C, it derates slightly at elevated panel temperatures: 5.76 A at 40 °C, 5.64 A at 45 °C, and 5.37 A at 55 °C.

Deployment context

The 76 mm depth (70 mm installation depth) fits typical enclosures with adequate gland-plate clearance. The neutral pole switches (neutral conductor switching function), making it suitable for single-phase or three-phase-plus-neutral circuits where the neutral must be disconnected with the phases.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL4606-8?

It is rated 10 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, so it will safely interrupt fault currents up to that level without upstream fuses needing to clear first.

Where can I buy 5SL4606-8?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Contact our desk for a current price and availability quote.

Will 5SL4606-8 drop into a panel specified for 5SL4106-7CC?

Both are 4-module DIN-rail MCBs from the same SENTRON 5SL family, so the physical footprint and mounting are identical. The key difference is the characteristic: 5SL4106-7CC is a C-curve (5–10× In), while the 5SL4606-8 is a D-curve (10–20× In). If the original design called for a C-curve, swapping to a D-curve may not trip fast enough on a short-circuit — check the load's inrush profile before substituting.
