Applications & Use Cases

The 5SL6506-6YA provides B-characteristic protection suited for resistive and lightly inductive loads such as lighting, sockets and general distribution. At 6 A and 6 kA breaking capacity, it is dimensioned for final subcircuit protection in commercial, residential and light-industrial distribution boards conforming to IEC 60947-2.

DIN-rail mounting and 2-module width allow high-density installation in standard consumer units and panelboards. Halogen-free construction and sealable toggle support fire-safety and lock-out requirements in institutional and infrastructure applications.
