The Siemens SENTRON 5SM3311-6KL is a 2-pole residual current operated circuit breaker (RCCB), Type A, rated at 16 A and 30 mA residual trip current for 230 V AC systems, with neutral on the left side of the unit. Rated for 50 Hz, it snaps onto a DIN rail (REG) and occupies 2 width units (36 mm), with a depth of 70 mm and height of 90 mm — standard panel footprint for a 2-pole residual current device.
Installation and wiring notes
Terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 1 mm² up to 16 mm², with a tightening torque of 2.5 to 3 N·m — spring-cage or screw terminals? The spec says screw-type, so use a torque screwdriver to avoid terminal damage. Silicon-free construction matters for applications where silicone outgassing could contaminate contacts or optics.
