At 30 °C ambient the breaker holds a full 16 A. At 40 °C it derates to 15.15 A, at 45 °C to 14.72 A, and at 55 °C to 13.79 A. If your panel runs warm — say near a transformer or a row of contactors — size the load to the derated value at your actual ambient, not the 30 °C number. Mounting position is any — vertical, horizontal, or upside-down — so it fits tight enclosures without worrying about orientation. Terminal protection is IP20 with conductors connected; keep bare fingers away from the live terminals.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the breaking capacity of 5SL6416-7BB?
6 kA per EN 60898 and also 6 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC. That covers standard residential and commercial fault levels.
What is the difference between 5SL6416-7BB and 5SL6550-7BB?
The 5SL6550-7BB is a 4-pole C-curve breaker rated 50 A instead of 16 A. Both share the same 6 kA breaking capacity, 400 V AC rating, and 4-module width. The 5SL6416-7BB is sized for smaller branch circuits; the 50 A version handles heavier loads like sub-feeds.
Where can I buy 5SL6416-7BB?
