Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 5SM3616-8 is a 2-pole residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) rated 63 A at 230 V AC, 50 Hz, with a Type A selective characteristic and a 10 kA short-circuit current rating. The selective design means it coordinates with downstream RCCBs — only the faulted branch trips, keeping the rest of the panel live.

The 63 A rating at 40 °C and 45 °C (full rating) drops to 60.48 A at 50 °C, 57.96 A at 55 °C, and continues derating to 50.4 A at 70 °C. The selective (S-type) characteristic adds a deliberate time delay, so it coordinates with downstream 30 mA RCCBs: a fault downstream trips the local device, not this main RCCB. That's standard for most commercial distribution boards, but if your available fault current is higher, you'll need an upstream fuse or breaker to limit it.

Deployment context

The 70 mm depth fits most IP20 distribution boards; with conductors connected, the IP20 protection is maintained.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SM3616-8 used for?

It's a selective (time-delayed) Type A RCCB rated 63 A, 2-pole, 230 V AC, 10 kA SCCR. Used as a main or feeder residual-current protection device in distribution boards, coordinating with downstream RCCBs to avoid nuisance tripping on the whole panel.

Where can I buy the 5SM3616-8?

It's available to order through independent industrial-automation distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — quoted to order, no minimum commitment.
