Product details

The Siemens 5SL6416-6 is a 4-pole SENTRON miniature circuit breaker with B-curve tripping characteristic, rated 16 A at 400 V AC. Breaking capacity is 6 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 — enough for most residential and light commercial sub-distribution boards.

Temperature derating matters

At 40 °C it derates to 15.23 A, at 45 °C to 14.88 A, and at 55 °C to 13.99 A. Plan the load side accordingly so the breaker doesn't nuisance-trip on a hot day.
