RCBO 20 A, C-curve, 30 mA — panel-builder commissioning notes
The Siemens 5SU1354-1RC20 is a SENTRON RCBO combining overcurrent protection (20 A, C characteristic) with residual current protection (30 mA, Type AC) in a single 2-module-wide unit.
The 30 mA Type AC residual sensitivity catches sinusoidal AC earth faults; it is the baseline choice for most residential and commercial circuits, not for pulsed DC or smooth DC fault types. The 20 A rating on a 2-pole 1P+N design switches the live conductor and switches the neutral, so it fits single-phase circuits where neutral isolation is required.
Integration — DIN-rail fit and panel considerations
The 2-module width (36 mm) occupies the same slot count as a standard 2-pole MCB. IP20 protection applies once the distribution board is installed with conductors connected — the RCBO itself is not sealed against washdown. Humidity tolerance up to 95% non-condensing.
