The Siemens 5SL6406-7CC is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker rated at 400 V with a 6 kA breaking capacity, C-curve trip characteristic, and 6 A rated current. It belongs to the Basic Devices product family under Group Code P310, Product Group 3820. The C-curve means the magnetic trip threshold is between 5 and 10 times the rated current (30–60 A for this 6 A unit), making it suitable for protecting circuits with moderate inrush currents such as lighting panels, small motor starters, and general-purpose distribution boards. With a 6 kA breaking capacity at 400 V, this MCB safely interrupts fault currents up to that level without upstream device coordination issues in standard residential or light commercial panelboards.
