The Siemens SENTRON 5SU1654-6KK20 is a 2-pole (1P+N) residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection — an RCBO that combines a B-curve MCB and a Type A RCD in one 36 mm-wide, 2-module-width housing.
Energy limitation class 3 (cites:) means it limits let-through energy enough to protect downstream wiring and loads during a fault.
Temperature derating — the real-world current
At 40 °C the continuous current drops to 18.8 A (cites:), at 50 °C to 17.4 A (cites:), and at 70 °C to 14.6 A (cites:). If the RCBO is installed in a crowded enclosure or near heat-generating devices, the effective ampacity is lower than the nameplate. The mounting position is unrestricted (cites:), so derating is driven by ambient temperature alone, not orientation.
Panel fit and installation
Width is 36 mm, which is 2 modular width units (cites:,) — it occupies two standard 18 mm DIN-rail slots. Depth is 77 mm (cites:), installation depth 70 mm (cites:). The supply cord can enter from either top or bottom (cites:), which simplifies busbar routing in a distribution board.
