The SENTRON 5SM3748-0 is a 4-pole residual current operated circuit breaker (RCCB), type AC, rated 100 A at 400 V AC with a 500 mA tripping fault current. It is an instantaneous design, meaning it trips without a time delay when the residual current exceeds 500 mA. This covers the basic earth-leakage protection requirement for a 4-wire (3-phase + neutral) supply in a distribution board.
The 500 mA residual current trip threshold is higher than the standard 30 mA used for personal shock protection; it is typically specified for equipment protection or where high leakage from filters or drives would nuisance-trip a lower-sensitivity device. The 4-pole configuration switches all three phases and the neutral, so it fits a 3P+N distribution board without a separate neutral link.
