Product description

The Siemens 5SX2116-7 is a 1-pole miniature circuit breaker from the T55 series, engineered for reliable protection against overcurrents. It features a 16A current rating, a C-curve trip characteristic, and operates at 230/400V with a 6kA breaking capacity.

This breaker is ideal for applications in industrial control panels, distribution systems, and machinery where protection against overloads and short circuits is essential. The C-curve is beneficial for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as those from motors.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 'C' in 5SX2116-7 C mean for its application?

The 'C' indicates a Type C tripping characteristic. This means the breaker will trip when the current reaches 5 to 10 times its rated current (16A). This characteristic is suitable for loads with moderate inrush currents, such as motors and transformers.
