The Siemens 5SL6210-7YA is a SENTRON miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rated for 230 V AC with a 6 kA breaking capacity, 2-pole configuration, C-curve trip characteristic, and 10 A rated current.
What the ratings mean for fit
The C-curve trips at 5–10× rated current (50–100 A for this 10 A unit), making it suitable for inductive loads like small motors, transformers, and lighting banks where inrush exceeds resistive load levels. The 6 kA breaking capacity at 230 V AC is the maximum fault current it can safely interrupt under EN 60898 — adequate for most residential and light commercial distribution boards, but verify the prospective short-circuit current at the installation point. The 2-pole design switches both line and neutral, which is required for single-phase circuits in many CENELEC markets.
Panel integration
Mounts on standard DIN rail (EN 60715) in any orientation. The 2-pole width occupies 2 modular units (36 mm). IP20 rated with connected conductors — suitable for enclosed distribution boards, not for wet or dust-exposed locations.
