Product details

The Siemens 5SU1656-1KK20 is a 2-pole (1P+N) RCBO from the SENTRON 5SU1 series, combining overcurrent and residual current protection in a single 36 mm wide module. Rated 20 A at 30 °C with a C tripping characteristic, it breaks fault currents up to 6 kA per EN 60898 at 230/240 V AC. The residual current element is type AC, covering sinusoidal AC fault currents. This is the instantaneous (non-time-delayed) version, so it trips without intentional delay on earth faults — suitable for circuits where selectivity with upstream RCDs is not required.

Rated current drops with ambient temperature inside the panel: 18.8 A at 40 °C, 18.2 A at 45 °C, 17.4 A at 50 °C, 16.2 A at 55 °C and 60 °C, 15.4 A at 65 °C, and 14.6 A at 70 °C. Supply can enter from the top or bottom — no mandatory orientation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SU1656-1KK20?

The RCBO is rated for 6 kA breaking capacity according to EN 60898 at 230/240 V AC.

Where can I buy the Siemens 5SU1656-1KK20?

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

Will the 5SU1656-1KK20 drop into a panel specified around 5SU9354-7KK16 without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole (1P+N) SENTRON RCBOs with the same 36 mm width and DIN-rail mount, so mechanical fit is the same. However, the 5SU9354-7KK16 has different ratings (check its specific current and characteristic), so verify the circuit requirements before substitution.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 5SU1656-1KK20?

The brand provides RoHS and REACH declarations as standard. The RCBO is designed to EN 60898 and carries CE marking for the European market.
