Product Overview: The document provides a detailed overview of Siemens' BETA Protecting Miniature Circuit Breakers, including specifications for various models like 5SL, 5SY, and 5SP. It covers their applications, standards, and technical specifications, such as rated voltage, operational voltage, and tripping characteristics.

Technical Specifications and Ordering Information: The 5SL miniature circuit breakers are designed for use up to 6 kA, with features like square terminals for easy cable entry and compatibility with auxiliary switches. Technical specifications include rated voltage, operational voltage, and insulation coordination. Selection and ordering data are provided for various models with different characteristics and mounting widths.

Applications: These MCBs are suitable for use as main control switches for disconnection or isolation in plant engineering and industrial applications. They can be supplemented with auxiliary components like auxiliary switches, fault signal contacts, and remote controls.

Certifications: The devices are certified for use in shipbuilding and comply with various shipping classifications such as BV, DNV, GL, and LRS.

Back-up Protection for Miniature Circuit Breakers: If the maximum short-circuit current at the installation site is unknown or exceeds the rated switching capacity, an upstream protective device, typically a fuse, is required. The document provides a table indicating the short-circuit currents in kA for which back-up protection is guaranteed using fuses according to DIN VDE 0636-21.

Back-up Protection with Circuit Breakers: In fuseless distribution boards, circuit breakers compliant with IEC/EN 60947-2 must be used as back-up protection. Tables are provided showing the short-circuit currents in kA for which back-up protection is guaranteed when using circuit breakers.

Internal Resistance and Power Loss: The document details the internal resistance (Ri) and power loss (Pv) for various miniature circuit breakers, including models 5SL6, 5SY4, 5SY7, 5SY8, 5SY5, 5SP4, and 5SP5, with data provided per pole and characteristic type.

Personnel Safety: According to DIN VDE 0100-410, conductor cross-sections or distances from protective devices must be dimensioned to ensure automatic tripping within specified times (0.4 s / 5 s) in the event of a fault. The condition Zs × Ia ≤ Uo must be met, where Zs is the impedance of the fault loop, Ia is the current that trips within the specified times, and Uo is the voltage against ground.

Fusing of Luminaire Circuits: The document specifies the maximum permissible lamp load for miniature circuit breakers when operating fluorescent lamps, considering factors like circuit impedance and reduction factors for simultaneous switching of incandescent lamp loads.

Current Carrying Capacity: The document provides data on the current carrying capacity of miniature circuit breakers with corrected and uncorrected HQ, HQI, and NAV lamps, detailing lamp power, lamp current, and inrush peak values.

Export Control and Licensing: Products listed with an 'AL' or 'ECCN' not equal to 'N' require export licenses. German and European export authorizations are necessary for goods marked with 'AL', while US re-export authorization is needed for 'ECCN'. Software products must adhere to export designations.

Catalog Overview: The catalog covers various Siemens products in industry automation, drive technologies, and low voltage distribution. It includes interactive catalogs on DVD for detailed product information.

Drive Systems: The catalog lists various drive systems including SINAMICS G110, G120, G130, G150, GM150, SM150, S120, and S150, along with MICROMASTER and SIMOVERT systems. It also covers three-phase induction motors, asynchronous motors, synchronous motors, and DC motors.

Automation Systems: Detailed information on automation systems for machine tools, including SIMODRIVE and SINAMICS systems, is provided. The catalog also includes information on low-voltage controls and distribution systems like SIRIUS, SENTRON, and SIVACON.

Process Instrumentation and Analytics: The catalog includes field instruments for process automation, process analytical instruments, and safety technology for factory automation.

SIMATIC Systems: Information on SIMATIC HMI, industrial automation systems, process control systems, and industrial communication is included.

General Information: The catalog notes that product descriptions may not always apply as described due to ongoing development. Availability and specifications are subject to change without notice.
