Description

Siemens 5SL3510-7 is a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for protecting electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Here’s an overview of its features and specifications:

Key Features:

  1. Type: Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
  2. Pole Configuration: Single pole (1P)
  3. Rated Current: The “5SL” series typically offers a range of rated currents. The specific model “5SL3510” indicates a rated current of 10 A.
  4. Rated Voltage: The rated voltage is typically suitable for low-voltage electrical systems, such as 230/400V AC.
  5. Tripping Characteristics: The tripping characteristics of the MCB determine its response time under overload and short-circuit conditions. Specific models may offer different tripping characteristics, such as B (for general purposes), C (for motor protection), or D (for high inrush currents).
  6. Breaking Capacity: The breaking capacity indicates the maximum fault current that the MCB can safely interrupt without sustaining damage. It ensures the safety of the electrical installation in the event of a fault.
  7. Compact Design: The miniature size of the MCB allows for space-saving installation in electrical distribution panels and consumer units.
