Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy the 5SL7116-3RC and get a price?
Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.
What is the K characteristic on this MCB used for?
The K curve trips between 10 and 14 times rated current, suited for motor-starting and transformer inrush loads where a B or C curve would nuisance-trip on the magnetizing surge.
