Product details

It breaks fault currents up to 15 kA per EN 60898 and 20 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 240 V AC, making it suitable for industrial panel protection where the prospective short-circuit current sits between those two standards' test conditions.

The 15 kA breaking capacity under EN 60898 is the value used for residential and light commercial coordination; the 20 kA figure under IEC 60947-2 is the industrial rating, tested with a different power-factor and making-capacity sequence. If your panel SCCR study calls for 18 kA at the loadcenter, the 60947-2 rating covers it; if the spec references EN 60898 only, the 15 kA limit governs. The 1-pole design occupies one modular width unit (18 mm) on the DIN rail, with a depth of 76 mm and an installation depth of 70 mm — standard for a 1 MW device, so it fits existing Betagard or SENTRON distribution boards without re-spacing. In a multi-pole assembly, sum the per-pole losses for thermal derating inside a crowded enclosure.

Integration notes

The 18 mm width (1 MW) matches the Betagard and SENTRON modular grid; downstream neutral bars and busbar systems designed for 1-pole spacing accept it without adapters. Sealable per the spec, so the installer can lock the toggle position after commissioning to prevent unauthorized switching.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SL7106-7RC?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for a firm quote with current pricing and confirmed availability.

Will 5SL7106-7RC drop into a panel specified around 5SL6006-7 without rewiring?

Yes, both are 1-pole C-curve MCBs in an 18 mm footprint with the same depth and DIN-rail mounting. The 5SL7106-7RC carries a higher breaking capacity (15 kA vs 6 kA per EN 60898), so it is a direct mechanical replacement but offers greater fault-current headroom. Verify the neutral switching requirement — the 5SL6006-7 is a 1P+N device with switched neutral, while the 5SL7106-7RC is 1-pole only.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SL7106-7RC?

The part carries a CE marking per the Low Voltage Directive and is designed to EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Specific RoHS and REACH declarations are available from the manufacturer upon request.
