5SL3032-7

Description

Siemens 5SL3032-7 is a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. Here’s an overview of its features and specifications:

Key Features:

1. Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB): Provides protection against overcurrents and short circuits in electrical circuits.
2. Rated Current (In): The rated current of the MCB is 32A, meaning it can handle continuous currents up to 32 amps.
3. Breaking Capacity (Icn): The breaking capacity is up to 10kA, allowing it to safely interrupt short-circuit currents.
4. Rated Voltage (Un): Suitable for use in circuits with a rated voltage of 230/400V AC.
5. Tripping Characteristic: The MCB may have different tripping characteristics such as B curve (for general applications) or C curve (for applications with higher inrush currents).
6. Number of Poles: The MCB may be available in single-pole (1P), double-pole (2P), or three-pole (3P) configurations, depending on the application requirements.
7. Mounting: Designed for DIN rail mounting according to EN 60715 standard, allowing for easy installation in distribution boards and enclosures.
8. Positive Contact Indication: Equipped with a visual indication to show the status of the contacts, providing added safety.
9. Manual Operation: Typically features a toggle switch for manual operation, allowing users to manually trip or reset the MCB as needed.
10. Compact Design: Compact and space-saving design suitable for installations where space is limited.
