The Siemens 5SL6525-7CC is a SENTRON 5SL-series miniature circuit breaker rated 25 A at 230 V AC, with a C tripping characteristic and a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898. It is a 1P+N unit — meaning it switches both the phase and the neutral, with the neutral pole switching but not protecting. That matters for a distribution board where you want a single-width module that isolates the full circuit on fault, common in residential and light commercial final subcircuits.
Where it is used
This MCB is designed for residential buildings and infrastructure — think final subcircuits in apartment distribution boards, lighting panels in commercial offices, or small utility loads in schools and hospitals. The 25 A C-curve is a common choice for general-purpose socket outlets (ring or radial) and fixed appliances like water heaters or air-handling units. It can also serve in industrial control cabinets for auxiliary circuits — control transformers, panel lighting, small motor feeds — provided the prospective fault current stays under 6 kA.
