Product details

The Siemens Betagard 5SL7163-7RC is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker with C-curve tripping characteristic, rated 63 A and breaking 10 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2.

The 10 kA breaking capacity is the same under both EN 60898 (household/residential standard) and IEC 60947-2 (industrial standard), so this breaker qualifies for either environment — a panel builder can spec it into a residential load center or an industrial sub-panel without recalculating the fault rating. The 63 A rating on a single pole means it protects one phase of a 240 V AC (single-phase) or 440 V AC (multi-phase) circuit, with a power loss of 5.5 W per pole at rated current in hot operating state — worth checking against the enclosure's thermal dissipation budget if densely populated. The 1 MW width (18 mm) keeps panel fill factor tight; a 3-pole version would need 54 mm (three units). Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 is confirmed — relevant for installations on machinery or near rotating equipment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SL7163-7RC?

10 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, at 240/415 V AC. This dual rating covers residential and industrial applications.

Where can I buy the 5SL7163-7RC?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the width of the 5SL7163-7RC?

18 mm, which is one modular width unit. The depth is 76 mm and height is 90 mm.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SL7163-7RC?

The part is halogen-free and silicon-free. It carries a degree of pollution 2 rating and overvoltage category III. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 is confirmed. Specific RoHS/REACH/UL declarations should be requested at quote time as they are not detailed in the spec record.
