The Siemens SENTRON 5SM3444-0 is a 4-pole residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) rated for 40 A at 400 V AC, 50 Hz.
The 40 A rating holds at ambient up to 45 °C. Above that, the current must be derated: 37.6 A at 50 °C, 35.2 A at 55 °C, 32.8 A at 60 °C, 30.4 A at 65 °C, and 28 A at 70 °C. If the distribution board runs warm — common in densely packed enclosures — the actual trip threshold shifts. Plan the load circuit against the derated figure for the expected cabinet temperature, not the nameplate 40 A.
Installation notes
Mounts on DIN rail (REG) in any position. IP20 applies only when the distribution board is installed with connected conductors; the front terminals are finger and back-of-hand safe. Overvoltage category III suits fixed-installation mains.
