Product details

For motor or transformer starting with higher inrush, a D-curve would be the better fit; for purely resistive loads or long cable runs where nuisance tripping is a concern, a B-curve is sometimes preferred. This unit switches the neutral pole (1P+N) so that when the breaker trips, both line and neutral are disconnected — a requirement in many national wiring rules for final subcircuits. The 25 mm² solid conductor capacity on the terminals is generous for a 10 A breaker — it accommodates the incoming supply tails common in residential boards without needing a reducer.

Integration and environmental fit

The sealable design allows the distributor to lock the cover after commissioning to prevent tampering. Touch protection is built into the terminals per the product feature listing.

Coordination and selectivity notes

Energy limitation class 3 means this breaker limits the let-through energy (I²t) to a low level, which helps achieve selectivity with upstream devices — a 63 A or 80 A SENTRON SMCB or NH fuse upstream will typically remain closed during a downstream fault on this 10 A unit. This allows remote status monitoring or emergency shutdown integration without replacing the MCB.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SN6510-7CN?

6 kA per EN 60898 at 230 V AC. This is the standard breaking capacity for residential and light commercial distribution boards; it clears a bolted fault up to 6 kA without the breaker failing.

Will the 5SN6510-7CN drop into a panel specified for the 5SL6550-7BB?

Yes, the 5SN6510-7CN shares the same 36 mm width, 76 mm depth, and DIN-rail mounting as the 5SL6550-7BB. Both are 2-module SENTRON MCBs with 1P+N configuration. The primary difference is the current rating: 10 A on this unit versus 50 A on the 5SL6550-7BB. No rewiring is needed for the same physical slot, but verify the load current does not exceed 10 A.

Where can I buy the 5SN6510-7CN and what is the price?
