2-pole protection C-curve tripping 10kA breaking capacity 400V AC / 440V DC rated Suitable for inductive loads

The Siemens 5SY5216-7 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker featuring a C-curve tripping characteristic, ideal for applications with higher inrush currents. It has a rated current of 16A and is designed for universal use in both AC and DC circuits, with voltage ratings of 400V AC and 440V DC. The breaker offers a robust 10kA breaking capacity, ensuring effective protection against overloads and short circuits.

This circuit breaker is widely used in industrial environments and for protecting equipment that may experience temporary current surges, such as motor loads or transformers. The C-curve ensures that these normal transient currents do not cause nuisance tripping, while still providing rapid protection against dangerous fault conditions.

Stanlo Automation, a veteran-owned surplus distributor, provides the Siemens 5SY5216-7 to meet your industrial automation needs. We are committed to delivering quality surplus components that offer excellent value, ensuring your operations run smoothly and efficiently.
