What it is and what it does
The Siemens 5SM9446-0 is a SENTRON residual current (RC) unit, type AC, designed as a companion module for the 5SL4 miniature circuit breaker. It provides earth leakage protection on 4-pole circuits up to 63 A rated current, with a 100 mA trip sensitivity and a rated voltage of 400 V AC. Breaking capacity is 6 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 61008-1. It is an instantaneous device — no intentional short-time delay — so it clears ground faults within the standard response time for personnel protection.
Mounting and integration
Mounts via standard rail (DIN) and occupies 3 modular width units (54 mm). Installation depth is 70 mm. The supply connects at the top, above the 5SL4 MCB. Rated for overvoltage category III, and IP20 with connected conductors in an installed distribution board. Ambient range is -25 °C to +55 °C; storage range extends to -40 °C.
