The Siemens SENTRON 5SM1746-6 is a 4-pole residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) rated 63 A at 40 °C with a 500 mA tripping fault current, Type A sensitivity.
Ratings & Fit
Rated 63 A continuous at 40 °C ambient; derates to 60.48 A at 50 °C, 57.96 A at 55 °C, 55.44 A at 60 °C, 52.92 A at 65 °C, and 50.4 A at 70 °C — so in a warm panel the effective current capacity drops. The 500 mA trip threshold suits circuits with higher leakage (e.g., long cable runs or industrial loads) where a 30 mA device would nuisance-trip. Type A detects pulsating DC residual currents from rectifiers or VFDs, not just sinusoidal AC. The 4-pole design (3 phases + neutral) is standard for three-phase distribution boards.
Snap-on DIN rail (REG) mounting, any position. Installation depth 55 mm. Supply connection top or bottom. Silicon-free construction. Mechanical service life typical 10 000 switching cycles.
