Product details

Selective main MCB for high-fault-current panels

The E tripping characteristic (short-time-delay magnetic release) is what makes it selective: it holds through the instantaneous trip zone of downstream C- or B-curve breakers, clearing only on sustained overcurrent or a hard fault that exceeds its delayed threshold.

Overvoltage category IV (pollution degree 3) confirms it is rated for the utility-side interface, not just downstream branch circuits. The 1-pole form factor occupies 2 modular width units (about 36 mm) on standard DIN rail, so it takes up two adjacent slots in the enclosure. Mechanical life of 20 000 switching cycles is typical for a main breaker that sees infrequent manual operation.

Depth of 91 mm (92 mm into the enclosure) and height of 145 mm — verify the enclosure lid clearance, especially if a busbar cover or sealable flap is fitted. Saddle terminals accept copper conductors; the breaker is sealable for utility-lockout compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 5SP3791 and get a price?

The 5SP3791 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commercial response.

What is the 5SP3791's breaking capacity?

Rated 25 kA per EN 60898 at 230 V AC, with an insulation voltage of 690 V and surge voltage resistance of 6 kV.

What does the E tripping characteristic mean?

The E curve is a selective (short-time-delay) characteristic — it allows downstream C- or B-curve MCBs to clear a fault first, so only the faulted branch trips while the main breaker stays closed. This is the defining feature of the SHU design.

Will the 5SP3791 drop into a panel specified for a 5SL6550-7BB?

No — the 5SP3791 is a 1-pole selective main breaker (100 A, 25 kA, E-curve) in a 2-MW footprint, while the 5SL6550-7BB is a 2-pole standard MCB (50 A, 6 kA, C-curve). They serve different roles in the distribution board and are not form-fit interchangeable.
