Product details

Rated current and breaking capacity — what governs the BOM fit

The 5SV1316-6KK16: That dual rating means it covers residential and light commercial panels (EN 60898) and industrial distribution boards (IEC 60947-2) with a single device — no need to swap breakers when the installation standard changes. The Type B tripping characteristic trips instantaneously at 3–5× rated current, designed for resistive and inductive loads without high inrush — lighting circuits, heating elements, general socket outlets. The 1P+N design protects one phase and switches the neutral without monitoring it.

One modular unit wide (18 mm) with a 77 mm depth and 90 mm height — fits standard DIN-rail enclosures without oversizing the cabinet. Supply can enter from either top or bottom, which simplifies panel layout when busbars run on one side. IP20 protection applies once the distribution board is installed with connected conductors.

Frequently asked questions

Is 5SV1316-6KK16 a Type A RCBO?

No, the 5SV1316-6KK16 is a Type B RCBO (tripping characteristic B per). Type A RCBOs detect pulsed DC residual currents; Type B detects smooth DC residual currents. This device is Type B, suitable for loads with AC and smooth DC fault currents.

What is the difference between Type A and Type AC RCBO?

Type AC RCBOs detect only sinusoidal AC residual currents. Type A adds detection of pulsed DC residual currents (e.g., from rectifiers or switching power supplies). Type B adds smooth DC residual currents. The 5SV1316-6KK16 is Type B, covering all three.

Can I use a 1P+N RCBO for a lighting circuit?

Yes, a 1P+N RCBO like the 5SV1316-6KK16 is suitable for single-phase lighting circuits. The Type B characteristic handles the inrush of LED drivers and electronic ballasts without nuisance tripping, provided the 16 A rating at the derated ambient temperature is not exceeded.
