Product details

It operates on a 50 Hz supply and is designed for instantaneous tripping — no adjustable delay. Enclosure protection is IP20 once installed with conductors connected.

The 40 A AC rating is the continuous current-carrying capacity at 40 °C ambient; derate to 37.2 A at 45 °C, 36 A at 50 °C, and 32 A at 70 °C. The 30 mA trip is standard for personnel protection (shock hazard) per IEC 60364. Type A detection catches sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents — common in single-phase rectified loads like switching power supplies and LED drivers. The 3-pole construction handles three-phase circuits; the neutral is not switched through the device (requires a separate neutral bar).

Panel integration

The unit is not sealable and has no adjustable trip or off-delay.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SM2332-6 used for?

It is a residual current device (RCD) for personnel protection in three-phase AC circuits up to 40 A, 50 Hz, with a 30 mA trip threshold. Type A sensitivity covers sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC faults.

Where can I buy the 5SM2332-6?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a quote request for current pricing and availability.

What is the depth of the 5SM2332-6?

The depth is 70 mm, which fits standard distribution board enclosures.

What is the width of the 5SM2332-6?

The width is 107 mm, corresponding to 3 modular width units (3 MW) on a DIN rail.
