What the ratings mean on the line
The Siemens 5SU9356-7CR40 is a single-module RCBO combining overcurrent protection and 30 mA residual current detection in one DIN-rail unit. The Type A trip characteristic means it catches pulsating DC fault currents as well as sinusoidal AC — common on modern electronics, drives, and switched-mode supplies found in control panels. The 6 kA breaking capacity (Icn) at 230 V AC is sized for final subcircuits in a standard distribution board; it interrupts a hard short without welding contacts or cascading damage upstream.
Deployment context
Snap-on DIN-rail mounting for a standard 18 mm module width. The 1P+N format protects one phase and switches the neutral — typical for single-phase final circuits in residential, commercial, or light-industrial distribution boards where an RCD and MCB are combined to save rail space.
