Product details

What this RCCB is and where it goes

The Type B characteristic means it detects smooth DC fault currents up to 1 kHz, not just AC and pulsating DC — so it's the right choice for circuits with variable-speed drives, UPS systems, or PV inverters that can dump a flat DC residual onto the line. The short-time delayed design (SIGRES function) gives it selectivity against nuisance tripping from transient surge currents; it holds through the inrush of a motor starter or a capacitor bank without dropping the circuit. IP20 with connected conductors; install it inside a distribution board or enclosure.

That's the load current it carries in normal operation — sized for a submain or a large final circuit feeding multiple loads. The short-time delayed variant (0.8 kA rated conditional short-circuit current per EN 60898 and IEC 61008-1) gives you selectivity with downstream 30 mA RCCBs — the downstream unit trips first on a fault, keeping the rest of the board live.

DIN rail snap-on, any mounting position. Depth 77 mm, width 72 mm (4 MW), height 90 mm — installation depth 70 mm. Supply can enter from top or bottom; the SIGRES function stays active even with supply from below in the switched-off state. Silicon-free construction.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SM3344-4 and get a price?

The 5SM3344-4 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for current pricing and availability; both are confirmed at quote time.

What does the Type B characteristic mean on this RCCB?

Type B detects smooth DC residual currents up to 1 kHz, not just AC and pulsating DC. That makes it suitable for circuits with VFDs, UPS systems, or solar inverters that can produce a flat DC fault current — a standard Type A or AC RCCB would not see that fault.

Will 5SM3344-4 drop into a panel specified around 5SY6613-8?

The 5SY6613-8 is a 4-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB), not an RCCB — different function. Both share the same DIN rail footprint, 4 MW width, and 70 mm installation depth, so the mechanical fit is the same. But the 5SM3344-4 adds residual current protection; you would need to verify the upstream protective device coordination if swapping one for the other in a panel design.
