Product details

The Siemens 5SL7406-3RC is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker from the SENTRON 5SL series, rated at 6 A with a K tripping characteristic and a 15 kA breaking capacity.

The K characteristic — magnetic trip at 8 to 12× In — is the key differentiator here: it's the right choice for motor branch circuits, welding equipment, and transformer primaries where the inrush peak would pop a B-curve breaker. Four poles let it switch all three phases plus neutral in a single module, saving DIN rail space versus ganging single-pole units.

Panel integration

The 4-pole body is 72 mm wide (4 × 18 mm module widths). The toggle handle protrudes about 10 mm past the front face — account for that in enclosure depth planning. Standard busbar comb can feed the line side across all four poles in one clamp.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SL7406-3RC used for?

It is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker with K characteristic, used to protect motor, transformer, and other inductive-load branch circuits in distribution panels.

Where can I buy the 5SL7406-3RC?

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

What is the breaking capacity of this breaker?

Rated 15 kA, which is the maximum fault current it can safely interrupt at its rated voltage.
