Product details

It is a 2-pole unit occupying 2 modular width units (36 mm) on a DIN rail, with an installation depth of 70 mm and overall depth of 76 mm.

DC-rated MCB for photovoltaic and infrastructure use

Rated for 440 V DC maximum, this breaker is suited for DC circuits in residential and infrastructure installations — think PV combiner boxes or battery-bank protection where DC arc extinction demands a dedicated DC-rated design.

Panel integration and environmental range

Operating temperature spans -40 to 75 °C, covering most indoor and sheltered outdoor enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source to 5SL5216-7RC?

The 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole AC-rated sibling (400 V AC, 10 kA, C-curve) but operates at only 72 V DC maximum — it is not a DC drop-in replacement. For a DC circuit at 440 V, the 5SL5216-7RC is the correct choice.

Will 5SL5216-7RC drop into a panel specified around 5SL4363-7 without rewiring?

No. The 5SL5216-7RC is 2-pole (36 mm wide, 2 MW), while the 5SL4363-7 is 3-pole (54 mm wide, 3 MW). The footprint and pole count differ; rewiring and a wider DIN-rail slot are required.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SL5216-7RC?

The breaker is halogen-free and silicon-free, and rated for pollution degree 2 and overvoltage category III per IEC/EN standards. Specific RoHS, REACH, UL, or IEC declarations are available from Siemens upon request.
