The Siemens 5SV1316-7LK13 is a SENTRON RCBO — a combined residual-current and overcurrent protective device — in a 1P+N configuration, rated 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz. It carries 13 A at 30 °C (thermal derating curve provided down to 10.01 A at 70 °C), with a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898. The Type A fault-current sensing catches pulsating DC residual currents, and the C characteristic handles moderate inrush from motor or lighting loads. It is a short-time delayed G / super resistant K design, meaning it tolerates brief surge currents better than a standard RCBO — relevant for panels feeding compressors or pumps that start hard.
Mounts on DIN rail in any position, one width unit (18 mm wide, 77 mm deep, 90 mm high). Installation depth is 70 mm — verify gland-plate clearance inside the enclosure. Feed can enter from top or bottom. Rated IP20 only once the distribution board is installed with connected conductors; the front face is touch-safe but the terminals are not sealed against dust or moisture. This is a panel-interior device, not a field-mounted unit.
Halogen-free and silicon-free construction — relevant for clean-room or high-reliability installations where outgassing or contamination matters. Pollution degree 2 (normal industrial environment). Overvoltage category III (fixed installation downstream of the main distribution board). Energy limiting class 3.
