Product details

The fault-current sensing is Type A, so it catches pulsating DC residual currents from rectified loads like switched-mode supplies or variable-speed drives.

The thermal derating curve is published: 37.6 A at 40 °C, 36.4 A at 45 °C, 34.8 A at 50 °C, 32.4 A at 55 °C (the upper operating limit), and 29.2 A at 70 °C. The power dissipation is 15.6 W at rated load, which adds to the enclosure's internal heat rise; factor that into the thermal coordination for the distribution board.

Mounts on DIN rail, any position. The 2 MW width (36 mm) and 77 mm depth plus 70 mm installation depth mean it fits standard SENTRON distribution boards without crowding adjacent ways.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SU1656-7KK40?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

What is 5SU1656-7KK40's depth?

The depth is 77 mm, with an installation depth of 70 mm.

What conductor sizes does 5SU1656-7KK40 accept?

Solid or stranded conductors from 0.75 mm² up to 35 mm².

Will 5SU1656-7KK40 drop into a panel specified around 5SL6563-7BB?

Both are 2-MW DIN-rail RCBOs in the SENTRON family, so the footprint is the same. The 5SU1656-7KK40 is a 1P+N Type A device rated 40 A Type C; the 5SL6563-7BB would need to be checked for its own ratings to confirm functional equivalence. No rewiring of the DIN rail or busbar system should be needed.
