The Siemens 5SU1153-7KV16 is a combined residual-current device and miniature circuit breaker (RCD/MCB combo, often called an FI/LS protector in European panel practice) in a single 1+N-pole module. It carries a Type A residual-current detection with a 10 mA trip threshold and a C-characteristic overcurrent trip at 16 A, with a 4.5 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. That 10 mA IΔN means it catches low-level leakage currents — typically specified for circuits where a higher threshold would miss the fault (e.g., wet environments, medical equipment, or circuits with sensitive electronics).
This is a 1+N-pole unit — it switches the line conductor and opens the neutral, but the neutral is not protected against overcurrent. The 70 mm depth (D=70mm) is standard for Siemens residential and light-commercial load centers, so it fits alongside other SENTRON-series breakers on the DIN rail. The Type A detection handles pulsating DC residual currents (typical from rectifiers, switching supplies, or single-phase drives), which a plain Type AC would miss.
