The Siemens 5SL7116-8RC is a SENTRON 5SL7 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable protection against overload and short-circuit conditions in suitable electrical installations. This MCB features a 16 A rated current, 1-pole configuration, D tripping characteristic, 240/415 V AC rated voltage and 15 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
The Siemens 5SL7116-8RC 16A 1-pole MCB is designed for electrical circuits where a compact circuit protection solution with a D tripping characteristic is required. The D characteristic is generally selected for suitable loads that can experience comparatively high starting or inrush currents. This makes the device suitable for appropriately designed circuits involving inductive equipment, transformers, motors and selected industrial control applications.
The 1-pole configuration provides a compact solution for individual suitable circuits requiring overcurrent protection. It can be integrated into electrical distribution boards, control panels, automation cabinets, machinery panels and OEM electrical assemblies where space-efficient circuit protection is required.
With a 16 A rated current, the 5SL7116-8RC is suitable for appropriately designed low-to-medium current circuits. Proper coordination between the protective device, connected load, conductor capacity and upstream/downstream protection is important for reliable and safe operation.
The 240/415 V AC rating supports use in compatible AC electrical systems. Its combination of 16 A current rating, 1-pole configuration, D characteristic and 15 kA breaking capacity makes it suitable for professional electrical protection applications.
As part of the Siemens SENTRON 5SL7 series, this MCB can be considered by panel builders, OEMs, electrical contractors, system integrators and industrial maintenance teams looking for Siemens circuit protection products.
The Siemens 5SL7116-8RC 16A 1-pole D curve MCB can be considered for:
The Siemens 5SL7116-8RC provides dependable protection for applications requiring a 16 A, 1-pole MCB with D characteristic and 15 kA breaking capacity. Its compact 1-pole design makes it suitable for protecting individual electrical circuits while helping maintain an organized arrangement inside electrical distribution boards and control panels.
The D tripping characteristic is intended for selected circuits where connected equipment may experience relatively high starting or inrush currents. This can make the MCB suitable for appropriately designed inductive loads, transformers, motors and industrial equipment, provided the load characteristics and complete protection system are compatible.
The 15 kA short-circuit breaking capacity provides a high specified fault-interruption capability for suitable installations. The prospective short-circuit current should always be assessed to confirm that the selected protective device has adequate breaking capacity for the electrical system.
The 1-pole construction provides a space-efficient solution for individual circuit protection. This can be particularly useful in distribution boards, automation panels, machinery control cabinets and OEM electrical assemblies where multiple individual circuits need dedicated protection.
The 16 A rated current makes the 5SL7116-8RC suitable for appropriately designed low-to-medium current circuits. Correct coordination between the MCB rating, conductor capacity and connected load is essential to provide effective protection.
The 240/415 V AC rating makes the device suitable for compatible AC electrical systems within its specified voltage application. Its compact modular construction also makes it suitable for professional panel and distribution-board installations.
The Siemens SENTRON 5SL7 series provides a practical solution for professional electrical circuit protection, making the 5SL7116-8RC suitable for industrial control panels, OEM machinery, automation systems, electrical distribution boards and commercial installations.
