The Siemens 5SL6532-7MB is a 1+N-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 32A with a C-trip curve, breaking capacity of 6kA at 230V. It is an active-production part (lifecycle status: current) from the Basic Devices family.
What the ratings mean for fit
The C-curve (trips at 5–10× rated current) is the standard choice for general-purpose loads with moderate inrush — lighting banks, small motor circuits, control transformers. The 32A rating and 6kA breaking capacity at 230V mean it can interrupt a fault up to 6000A without welding its contacts, which covers most residential and light commercial panel scenarios. The 1+N-pole construction switches both line and neutral, with overcurrent protection on the line pole only — common for single-phase final subcircuits where the neutral is switched but not protected.
