Product details

The 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 (and IEC 60947-2) tells you it can safely interrupt a fault up to that level at 400 V AC; if your available fault current on the secondary side of the transformer is higher, you need to coordinate upstream or step up to a 10 kA rated unit. At 25 A and 400 V AC, each pole dissipates about 2.7 W in hot operating state — that's the heat you need to account for when filling a DIN-rail enclosure. Two poles means 5.4 W total inside the panel. The 2-module width (36 mm) is standard for a 2-pole MCB in this family, so it slots right into a pre-configured SENTRON distribution board without extra spacing.

The part carries IP20 protection with connected conductors — typical for a panel-mounted breaker where the enclosure provides the real ingress barrier. It's sealable (you can lock the toggle with a padlock for lockout/tagout) and halogen-free / silicon-free, which matters for installations with sensitive contacts or where outgassing during a fault could cause corrosion.

The 2-pole design switches both phase conductors simultaneously, which is what you need for a 2-wire single-phase or split-phase feed.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SL6225-6BB and how is it quoted?

We supply this part through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.

What are the key specs for 5SL6225-6BB?

2-pole, B-curve, 25 A, 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, rated 400 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 2 modular width units (36 mm).

Will 5SL6225-6BB drop into a panel specified for 5SL4363-7?

No — the 5SL4363-7 is a 3-pole C-curve breaker with 10 kA breaking capacity and a 54 mm width (3 modules). The 5SL6225-6BB is 2-pole, B-curve, 6 kA, 36 mm wide. The DIN-rail footprint is the same, but the pole count, curve, and breaking capacity are different; rewiring and possibly a panel redesign would be required.
