The Siemens 5SL6220-7RC is a SENTRON 5SL6 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable protection against overload and short-circuit conditions in suitable electrical installations. This Siemens MCB features a 20 A rated current, 2-pole configuration, C tripping characteristic and 7.5 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, making it suitable for appropriately designed industrial, commercial and electrical distribution applications.
The Siemens 5SL6220-7RC 20A 2-pole MCB is designed for electrical circuits where dependable overcurrent protection and coordinated two-pole switching are required. Its C tripping characteristic is generally suitable for general-purpose electrical circuits where moderate starting or inrush currents may occur. This makes the device a practical choice for distribution circuits, control panels, machinery and compatible electrical equipment.
The 2-pole configuration provides coordinated protection and switching across two poles, making the MCB suitable for compatible electrical distribution arrangements where a compact multi-pole protective device is required. It can be integrated into electrical distribution boards, industrial control panels, machinery panels, OEM electrical assemblies and commercial electrical installations.
With a 20 A rated current, the 5SL6220-7RC is suitable for appropriately designed medium-current circuits. Proper selection should consider the connected load, conductor capacity, system conditions and coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices.
The 7.5 kA short-circuit breaking capacity provides the specified fault-interruption capability for suitable installations. The prospective short-circuit current at the installation point should be assessed before selecting the MCB to ensure that the device's breaking capacity is appropriate for the electrical system.
As part of the Siemens SENTRON 5SL6 series, the 5SL6220-7RC offers a compact modular circuit protection solution for professional electrical installations. It can be considered by panel builders, OEMs, electrical contractors, system integrators and industrial maintenance teams looking for reliable Siemens circuit protection products.
The Siemens 5SL6220-7RC 20A 2-pole C curve MCB can be considered for:
The Siemens 5SL6220-7RC provides dependable circuit protection for applications requiring a 20 A, 2-pole MCB with C characteristic and 7.5 kA breaking capacity. Its C tripping characteristic makes it suitable for many general-purpose circuits where moderate starting or inrush currents can occur during normal equipment operation.
This makes the MCB suitable for appropriately designed distribution, control, machinery and equipment circuits where the connected load is compatible with a C-curve protective device. Choosing the correct tripping characteristic helps provide effective protection while reducing unnecessary tripping during normal operation.
The 7.5 kA breaking capacity provides the specified capability to interrupt suitable short-circuit fault currents within the applicable ratings of the device. Proper assessment of the installation's prospective short-circuit current is important when selecting the MCB.
The 2-pole configuration provides coordinated protection and switching for compatible two-pole circuits. This can help panel builders maintain a clean and organized arrangement in electrical distribution boards, industrial control cabinets, machinery panels and OEM electrical assemblies.
The 20 A rated current makes the 5SL6220-7RC suitable for appropriately designed medium-current circuits. Correct coordination between the MCB, conductor size, connected load and other protective devices is essential for reliable electrical protection.
The compact Siemens SENTRON 5SL6 design makes this MCB suitable for professional electrical panels and distribution systems. It can be considered for industrial automation, OEM equipment, machinery control, commercial distribution and electrical protection applications.
