Product details

That dual-standard rating is useful: EN 60898 covers residential final circuits; IEC 60947-2 covers industrial feeders, so the part carries both worlds.

Pole count and neutral switching

This is a 4-pole unit wired as 3P+N — three protected phases plus a switched neutral. The neutral conductor switching feature means the neutral pole opens and closes with the phases, which matters in TN or TT systems where you want the neutral isolated when the breaker is off. Any mounting position is permitted, so orientation in a tight enclosure isn't a constraint.

Installation and environmental limits

Terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 to 25 mm²; tighten to 2.5–3 N·m. Ambient operating range is -25 to +55 °C with up to 95% humidity; storage range extends to -40 to +75 °C. Overvoltage category 3 and energy limiting class 3 are standard for main-distribution MCBs. The breaker is sealable, halogen-free, and silicon-free, which simplifies compliance in environments sensitive to outgassing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL4608-8?

10 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, at 400 V AC. That dual rating covers residential final circuits and industrial feeders.

What does the D-curve mean on this breaker?

The D tripping characteristic has a magnetic trip threshold of 10 to 20 times the 8 A rated current, so it handles high inrush from motor and transformer loads without nuisance tripping.

Where can I buy 5SL4608-8 and get current pricing?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock or price figures are published here.

What conductor sizes does 5SL4608-8 accept?

Solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 to 25 mm², with a tightening torque of 2.5 to 3 N·m.
