Siemens 5SL7406-7RC MCB 6A 4-Pole C Characteristic 15kA

The Siemens 5SL7406-7RC is a SENTRON 5SL7 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable protection against overload and short-circuit conditions in electrical installations. This MCB features a 6 A rated current, 4-pole configuration, C tripping characteristic, 415 V rated voltage and 15 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of appropriately designed electrical distribution and control applications.

The Siemens 5SL7406-7RC 6A 4-pole MCB provides circuit protection for applications where reliable interruption of overload and short-circuit faults is required. Its C characteristic offers a balanced tripping profile for general-purpose circuits, making it suitable for many lighting, control, distribution and equipment circuits where moderate starting or inrush currents may occur.

The 4-pole configuration makes this MCB suitable for compatible multi-phase electrical systems where four poles need coordinated switching and protection. It can be integrated into distribution boards, control panels, industrial electrical systems, commercial installations and machinery panels.

A key feature of the 5SL7406-7RC is its 15 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. This provides a higher specified fault-interruption capability for installations where the prospective short-circuit current requires an MCB with an appropriate breaking capacity. Proper fault-level assessment and coordination with other protective devices should always be considered during installation.

The 415 V rating makes the device suitable for compatible electrical distribution systems within its specified voltage rating. With a 6 A rated current, it is appropriate for suitably designed lower-current circuits where the connected load and conductor capacity are correctly matched to the protective device.

As part of the Siemens SENTRON 5SL7 series, this miniature circuit breaker is suitable for professional electrical protection applications. It can be considered by panel builders, OEMs, electrical contractors, system integrators and industrial maintenance teams requiring reliable Siemens circuit protection.

The C tripping characteristic is commonly used for general-purpose electrical circuits where moderate inrush currents are expected. The correct MCB characteristic should always be selected according to the connected load, cable rating, fault level and overall protection requirements.

Benefits

The Siemens 5SL7406-7RC provides reliable circuit protection for applications requiring a 6 A, 4-pole MCB with C characteristic. Its C tripping curve provides a practical solution for general-purpose circuits where moderate starting or inrush currents can occur during normal equipment operation.

The 15 kA short-circuit breaking capacity provides a higher specified fault-interruption capability for suitable installations where the prospective short-circuit current requires this level of protection. This can be particularly important in electrical distribution systems where fault levels need to be carefully assessed during protection design.

The 4-pole configuration provides coordinated switching and protection for suitable multi-phase circuits. This allows the device to be incorporated into compact and organized distribution boards, industrial control panels and electrical switchboards.

The 6 A rated current makes this MCB suitable for appropriately designed lower-current circuits, including selected control, auxiliary and distribution applications. The 415 V rating supports use in compatible electrical systems operating within the specified voltage rating.

The C characteristic provides a versatile solution for many general electrical loads. Compared with a D characteristic, it is generally intended for circuits with lower starting-current requirements, while still providing protection against applicable overload and short-circuit conditions.

As part of the Siemens SENTRON 5SL7 family, the MCB can be integrated into professional electrical protection systems and used with compatible Siemens accessories where applicable.

The Siemens 6 A 4P C curve 15 kA MCB can be considered for suitable projects across Faridabad, Delhi NCR, Noida, Gurgaon/Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Punjab, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru/Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Ludhiana and other major industrial and commercial locations across India.

Always verify the connected load, conductor rating, prospective short-circuit current, system voltage and coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices before installation.
