The Siemens SENTRON 5SV3311-6GV01 is a 2-pole residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) rated 16 A at 230 V AC, 50 Hz, with a 30 mA trip threshold and Type A residual current sensitivity. Type A detects sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents — the standard choice for circuits feeding single-phase electronics, switched-mode power supplies, and appliances with rectifier front ends. Instantaneous design (no intentional delay) trips within the standard RCCB response window.
Depth is 70 mm, height 90 mm. Mounting position is unrestricted — install top or bottom feed, any orientation. IP20 with connected conductors in a distribution board; overvoltage category III suits fixed-installation mains-side use. Silicon-free construction avoids outgassing concerns in sensitive contact environments.
Thermal performance and derating
The flat current curve simplifies panel design: no temperature-based ampacity reduction in typical enclosure conditions.
