The Siemens 5SU1656-1KK16 is a SENTRON RCBO (residual current operated circuit breaker with integral overcurrent protection) in a 1P+N configuration, meaning it switches and protects the live conductor and switches the neutral. Supply can enter from either top or bottom, simplifying panel layout. The IP20 rating applies once installed in a distribution board with conductors connected — not for exposed outdoor use.
Temperature derating and real-world current
At 40 °C the continuous current drops to 15.2 A, at 50 °C to 14.4 A, and at 70 °C to 12.32 A.
