The Siemens 5SL6215-8CC is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker from the Basic Devices family, rated at 1.6 A with a D-trip curve and a 6 kA breaking capacity at 400 V. The D-curve means it tolerates high inrush currents — typical for motor, transformer, or lighting ballast circuits — without nuisance tripping on startup. At 1.6 A, it protects downstream wiring and loads up to roughly 350 W on a 230 V line or 640 W on a 400 V line, making it a fit for small motor feeders, control transformers, or solenoid banks inside a panel.
Compliance & Documentation
RoHS compliance is confirmed effective 01 June 2013, and REACH candidate-list information is available on request. The product class is B (return restricted — contact your Siemens partner for return authorization). Export control is AL: N / ECCN: N, so no special licensing is required for cross-border trade.
