The Siemens 5SL5140-7CC is a SENTRON 5SL miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for DC circuits. It's a single-pole unit with a C-tripping characteristic, rated at 40 A with a maximum DC voltage of 72 V.
Where it fits — panel and deployment
Mounting position is any, so orientation in the enclosure is flexible. It's specified for residential buildings and infrastructure, but the DC rating makes it equally useful in industrial control cabinets for DC auxiliary circuits.
The 72 V DC maximum at 40 A is the headline spec — this breaker protects a DC circuit up to that voltage and current, with a breaking capacity of 10 kA (per EN 60898, as the 5SL series is rated).
