Product details

This makes it a fit for DC distribution boards in residential and infrastructure applications — think solar combiner boxes, DC bus feeds, or telecom power supplies where a single-pole DC interruption is needed.

The 220 V DC maximum rating is the key constraint: this breaker is built for DC, not AC. Many general-purpose MCBs derate significantly on DC or lack a DC rating entirely. In a DC system, arc extinction is harder than with AC (no zero-crossing), so a dedicated DC rating is essential. For grounded return DC circuits, single-pole interruption is standard.

Occupies 1 modular width unit (18 mm) on DIN rail. The breaker is sealable — the toggle can be locked in the OFF position with a padlock, useful for lockout/tagout. Supplementary devices are installable, meaning auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, or undervoltage releases can be snapped onto the side without extra DIN space.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 5SL5140-7RC?

The 5SL5140-7RC has a breaking capacity of 10 kA at 220 V DC. This is the maximum fault current it can safely interrupt.
