Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SM3316-6KL01 is a 2-pole residual current operated circuit breaker (RCCB) rated 63 A at 230 V AC, with a 30 mA trip threshold and Type A fault current sensitivity. It is designed as short-time delayed (selective) for coordination with downstream devices, and carries a 10 kA short-circuit current rating (SCCR) per IEC/EN standards.

A standard Type AC RCCB would not see those pulses. The short-time delayed (selective) characteristic means this RCCB intentionally delays tripping on a ground fault to give a downstream RCCB time to clear first. This allows selectivity in a multi-level distribution board — only the faulted branch trips, not the entire panel. The 3 kA surge current resistance (rated impulse withstand) confirms it will not nuisance-trip on lightning or switching surges.

Snap-on DIN rail (REG) mount, 36 mm wide (2.5 modular width units per DIN 43880 size 1), 70 mm deep, 90 mm tall. Mounts in any position. Finger and back-of-hand safe touch protection is built in. Installation depth is 70 mm — verify the gland plate and wiring space in your enclosure, especially if back-panel wiring is tight. The 2.5 width units mean it occupies two and a half 18 mm module positions on the DIN rail.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this Type A RCCB and a standard Type AC?

Type A detects both sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents. Type AC only detects sinusoidal AC. For circuits with electronic loads (VFDs, LED drivers, switched-mode supplies) that can produce pulsed DC faults, Type A is required by code in many jurisdictions.

What does short-time delayed mean for selectivity?

The short-time delayed design intentionally delays tripping on a ground fault to give a downstream standard RCCB time to clear first. This provides selectivity in multi-level distribution — only the faulted branch trips, not the upstream device.

Where can I buy the 5SM3316-6KL01?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the SCCR of the 5SM3316-6KL01?

The short-circuit current rating (SCCR) is 10 kA at 230 V AC, overvoltage category III.
