RCCB for panel builders — 25 A Type A, 300 mA trip
The Siemens SENTRON 5SV5612-6 is a 2-pole residual current operated circuit breaker (RCCB) in Type A instantaneous design, rated 25 A at 40 °C with a 300 mA residual trip threshold. It operates on 230/400 V AC at 50 Hz and carries a 6 kA short-circuit current rating (SCCR) per IEC 61008-1.
Depth is 70 mm; installation depth matches at 70 mm. Mounting position is any orientation.
The instantaneous design (no short-time delay) means it trips within the standard RCCB response window, suitable for general distribution where selectivity with downstream RCBOs is managed by rating coordination rather than delay. The 6 kA SCCR (per IEC 61008-1) defines the maximum prospective fault current the device can interrupt without damage; verify that the upstream overcurrent protective device limits let-through to this value. The 1 kA surge current resistance and 0.5 kA rated value per IEC 61008-1 indicate the device withstands transient overvoltages common on residential mains without nuisance tripping.
