The Siemens SENTRON 5SM3318-0KK is a 2-pole residual current operated circuit breaker (RCCB), Type AC, rated 100 A with a 30 mA trip threshold on 230 V AC at 50 Hz.
Installation depth is 70 mm — measure your enclosure's clear space behind the rail before committing. Supply can land top or bottom, which helps when reworking an existing board without flipping the busbar. IP20 with conductors connected and distribution board installed — that's protected-finger touch only.
Breaking capacity and standard compliance
Rated short-circuit current (SCCR) is 10 kA per IEC 61008-1; the EN 60898 rating is 1 kA. Overvoltage category III confirms it's rated for fixed-installation mains (distribution level, not sub-circuits).
Ambient limits and thermal derating
The 45 °C ceiling is the running limit — above that you'd need to derate the 100 A continuous rating, though the datasheet doesn't publish a curve. If your panel internal temperature regularly hits 40 °C+ (sunlit enclosure, high-density gear), factor in headroom.
