Product Description

Siemens 5SL5116-7RC MCB 16A 1-Pole C Characteristic 10kA DC

The Siemens 5SL5116-7RC is a SENTRON 5SL5 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed specifically for DC circuit protection. This Siemens DC MCB features a 16 A rated current, 1-pole configuration, C tripping characteristic, 220 V DC operating voltage and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, making it suitable for appropriately designed DC electrical installations requiring dependable protection against overload and short-circuit conditions.

The Siemens 5SL5116-7RC 16A 1-pole DC MCB is designed for individual DC circuits where reliable overcurrent protection is required in a compact modular format. Since DC fault interruption differs from AC fault interruption, a dedicated DC-rated MCB is important for applications operating within the product's specified electrical ratings.

With a 16 A rated current, the 5SL5116-7RC is suitable for appropriately designed low-to-medium current DC circuits. The connected load, conductor capacity, operating conditions and coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices should be considered when selecting the MCB.

The C tripping characteristic provides a defined response for compatible circuits where moderate starting or transient currents may occur. This makes the MCB suitable for selected DC control circuits, automation systems, auxiliary power circuits and electrical equipment, provided the load characteristics are compatible.

The 1-pole configuration provides a compact and space-efficient solution for individual DC circuit protection. It can be integrated into DC distribution boards, industrial control panels, automation cabinets, machinery panels and OEM electrical assemblies.

The 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity provides the specified fault-interruption capability for applicable DC installations. The prospective short-circuit current should always be evaluated before installation to ensure the selected MCB is suitable for the actual DC system.

Benefits

The Siemens 5SL5116-7RC provides dependable circuit protection for DC applications requiring a 16 A, 1-pole MCB with C characteristic and 10 kA breaking capacity. Its dedicated DC design makes it suitable for applications where the circuit breaker must provide protection under DC operating conditions.

The 16 A current rating makes this MCB appropriate for suitably designed low-to-medium current DC circuits. Proper coordination between the protective-device rating, connected load and conductor capacity helps provide effective overload protection while allowing the circuit to operate normally.

The C tripping characteristic provides a practical protection response for suitable DC circuits where moderate starting or transient currents may occur. It can be considered for selected industrial control systems, automation circuits, auxiliary supplies and compatible DC equipment, subject to the complete electrical protection design.

The 1-pole construction offers a compact solution for individual DC circuit protection. This is useful in DC distribution boards, industrial control cabinets, automation panels, machinery control systems and OEM electrical assemblies where individual circuits require dedicated protection.

The 10 kA breaking capacity provides the specified short-circuit interruption capability for suitable DC installations. Because DC fault interruption depends on system voltage, available fault current and circuit configuration, these parameters should always be verified before installation.

The 220 V DC operating voltage makes the 5SL5116-7RC suitable for compatible DC systems operating within its specified voltage rating. This makes it relevant to selected industrial DC distribution, control, auxiliary power and equipment-protection applications.

The Siemens SENTRON 5SL5 DC series provides a dedicated modular solution for professional DC circuit protection. The 5SL5116-7RC can therefore be considered by OEMs, panel builders, electrical contractors, automation integrators and industrial maintenance teams.
