The 10 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 tells you it can safely interrupt a fault current up to 10 kA at 400 V AC; under UL 1077 it carries a 5 kA interrupting rating, so verify the available fault current at the installation point if the panel is destined for a North American site. Rated voltage for DC applications is 72 V maximum — not a DC distribution breaker, but usable for control-circuit protection on a 48 V or 60 V DC bus. Conductor cross-section accepts 0.75 to 35 mm² solid or stranded, with a screw-terminal torque range of 2.5 to 3.5 N·m. IP20 with connected conductors — protected against finger contact, not washdown.
For compliance documentation, the SENTRON series carries IEC/EN 60898 certification for the 10 kA rating and UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 for the 5 kA rating. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from Siemens for current-production parts — request them with your RFQ if your QA process requires them on file.
The sealable cover (yes) lets you lock the handle position after commissioning, preventing unauthorized switching on a critical subfeed. For a brewery or distillery environment, keep the enclosure climate-controlled if ambient regularly exceeds 55 °C.
