Product details

The Siemens 5SV5344-0 is a SENTRON 4-pole residual current circuit breaker (RCCB), Type AC, rated 40 A with 30 mA sensitivity at 400 V AC. The 30 mA trip threshold covers personnel protection (hand-to-ground fault path) while avoiding nuisance trips from normal cable capacitance on shorter runs.

Rated at 40 A continuous and 400 V AC phase-to-phase, this RCCB handles the full load of a typical 40 A sub-distribution board feeding lighting, socket outlets, and small HVAC equipment. The 30 mA sensitivity is the standard for personnel protection in most IEC-based installations. It will trip within 300 ms at rated residual current, faster at higher fault currents. The device is instantaneous — no intentional time delay — so it coordinates with upstream delayed-type RCCBs in a selective scheme only if the upstream device is marked S (selective) with a higher rating.

Depth is 70 mm, which leaves clearance in standard 100 mm deep enclosures. Silicon-free construction is a detail worth noting for automotive paint-shop or coating-line panels where silicone outgassing can cause adhesion failures.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of the 5SV5344-0?

4-pole RCCB, Type AC, rated 40 A continuous current, 30 mA residual sensitivity, 400 V AC supply voltage, 6 kA short-circuit capacity per IEC 61008-1. Occupies 4 modular units on DIN rail.

Where can I buy the 5SV5344-0 and get current pricing?

The 5SV5344-0 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead-time commitment.

Will the 5SV5344-0 drop into a panel specified around a 5SJ6325-7RC MCB?

No — the 5SV5344-0 is a 4-pole RCCB (72 mm wide, 4 MW), while the 5SJ6325-7RC is a 3-pole MCB (54 mm wide, 3 MW). They serve different functions (earth leakage protection vs overcurrent protection) and occupy different widths. A panel designed for the MCB would need additional DIN-rail space and a separate RCCB slot.
