Product details

The Siemens 5SU1653-1KV20 is a combined residual-current device and miniature circuit breaker (RCD/MCB), known as an FI/LS protector. It combines Type AC residual current detection at 300 mA with a C-curve overcurrent trip at 20 A, all in a single 1+N-P module. The 4.5 kA short-circuit breaking capacity handles typical domestic and light commercial fault levels.

The 300 mA residual sensitivity is a delayed (S-type) characteristic, intended as a fire-protection or selective earth-leakage device upstream of 30 mA RCDs. It will not trip on the leakage from a single person touching a live conductor; that is the 30 mA level. The D=70 mm dimension refers to the depth behind the panel, so verify enclosure depth if retrofitting into a shallow consumer unit.

This is a 1+N-P module — it switches and protects the line conductor only; the neutral is switched but not protected. If the fault level exceeds 4.5 kA, an upstream backup fuse or MCB is required.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 5SU1653-1KV20 used for?

It is a combined RCD/MCB (FI/LS protector) for final circuits. The 300 mA residual sensitivity makes it suitable for fire protection or as a selective upstream device, while the 20 A C-curve overcurrent protects general socket and lighting circuits.

Where can I buy the 5SU1653-1KV20?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quotation.

What does Type AC mean on this RCD?

Type AC residual current detection responds only to sinusoidal AC fault currents. It is the standard type for circuits without electronic loads that generate pulsed DC or high-frequency leakage.
