Product details

RCCB for universal-current-sensitive protection

The Siemens 5SM3324-4 is a 2-pole SENTRON residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) rated 40 A at 230 V AC, with a 30 mA trip threshold and Type B residual current characteristic. Type B means it detects smooth DC fault currents in addition to AC and pulsed DC — essential for circuits feeding variable-frequency drives, UPS systems, or EV charging equipment where pure AC-sensing RCCBs would miss a DC fault. The short-time delayed design (S-type) provides selectivity: it withstands transient earth-leakage surges up to 3 kA (8/20 µs) without nuisance tripping, coordinating with downstream RCCBs so only the faulted branch clears.

Depth of 70 mm (installation depth 70 mm) leaves clearance for wiring gutters in a typical 120 mm deep enclosure. The silicon-free construction avoids outgassing issues in sealed cabinets with sensitive electronics.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SM3324-4 used for?

It is a 2-pole Type B RCCB (residual current circuit breaker) rated 40 A, 30 mA, 230 V AC, short-time delayed. It protects circuits against earth faults including smooth DC, making it suitable for VFD, UPS, and EVSE installations where standard AC/Type A RCCBs may not detect DC fault currents.

Where can I buy the 5SM3324-4?
