The Siemens SENTRON 5SV1616-7KK06 is a 1P+N RCBO (residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection) in an 18 mm single-module width, combining a C-curve thermal-magnetic overcurrent trip at 6 A with a 300 mA Type A residual current detection element. Type A residual current detection means it trips on sinusoidal AC fault currents and also on pulsating DC fault currents — the standard requirement for circuits with single-phase rectified loads like washing machines, LED drivers, and IT equipment.
Derating and ambient temperature
Rated 6 A at 30 °C ambient, the continuous current must be derated as panel temperature rises: 5.64 A at 40 °C, 5.46 A at 45 °C, 5.28 A at 50 °C, 5.04 A at 55 °C, 4.86 A at 60 °C, 4.62 A at 65 °C, and 4.44 A at 70 °C.
Mountable in any position, with supply feed from either top or bottom — no mandatory orientation, which simplifies layout in crowded enclosures.
