The Siemens SENTRON 5SL6016-7 is a 1P+N miniature circuit breaker with C-curve tripping characteristic, rated 16 A at 230 V AC and 6 kA breaking capacity per IEC/EN 60898-1.
The C16 curve means the breaker trips at 5–10× rated current (80–160 A magnetic trip), suited for circuits with moderate inrush — lighting banks, small motor loads, or general socket outlets. The 1P+N configuration switches both phase and neutral, which is required in many national wiring regulations for final circuits. Rated insulation voltage (Ui) is 250 V AC, with operating voltage max 250 V AC single-phase. The neutral conductor is switched, so the breaker isolates both poles when off — useful for maintenance isolation in single-phase panels.
Panel integration
Mounts on DIN rail (fastening method) in any position. The IP20 rating applies with connected conductors, so it is intended for enclosed panels or consumer units, not outdoor wet locations.
