The Siemens 5SY6316-7 is a robust miniature circuit breaker designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection in a variety of industrial and commercial settings. Engineered with precision by Siemens, this 3-pole circuit breaker is rated for 400 V and can handle a current of up to 16 A. Its compact dimensions, with a depth of 70 mm, allow for efficient use of space within electrical installations.

This circuit breaker features a C tripping characteristic, ensuring that it responds to overloads with a time delay, allowing short-term current peaks to pass without tripping, which is particularly useful in systems with inductive loads. The 5SY6316-7 is capable of breaking short-circuit currents up to 6 kA, in accordance with EN 60898, and has an insulation voltage rated at 440 V for multi-phase operations with AC.

The unit is designed for quick assembly, facilitating easy installation and maintenance. It can be mounted in any position, providing flexibility in various application scenarios. The product is also halogen-free and silicon-free, making it an environmentally conscious choice for electrical protection.

With its combination of reliability, ease of use, and safety features, the Siemens 5SY6316-7 miniature circuit breaker is an excellent choice for safeguarding electrical circuits against overcurrent conditions in a wide range of industrial applications.
