The Siemens 5SM9426-0 is a SENTRON residual current (RC) unit — the electronic trip module that pairs with a 5SL4 miniature circuit breaker to form a combined RCD/MCB (RCBO) assembly. It is a 2-pole, type AC device rated at 63 A with a 100 mA residual tripping threshold, supplied at 230/400 V AC.
It clips to the top of a 5SL4 miniature circuit breaker — the supply feeds in from above, through the RC unit, then to the MCB below. The assembly fits enclosures meeting DIN 43880 size 1. Terminal torque is 2.5 to 3 N·m. The IP20 rating applies only when the distribution board is installed with conductors connected — bare units on the bench are not touch-safe.
Wire sizing and termination
Accepts solid conductors from 0.75 to 35 mm² and stranded conductors from 0.75 to 25 mm². This range covers most sub-main and feeder circuits up to 63 A. The screw terminals are rated for the full 63 A continuous current without derating at the 55 °C ambient upper limit.
