Product details

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 5SV5612-6?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels; no real-time figures are published here.

Will 5SV5612-6 drop into a panel specified around 5SY5232-6 without rewiring?

Both are 2-pole RCCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint (36 mm width, 2 MW), so the mechanical swap is straightforward. However, verify the residual current type and trip rating — the 5SV5612-6 is Type A, 300 mA, while the 5SY5232-6 may differ. If the panel design calls for a specific type or threshold, confirm the replacement matches the original specification before substituting.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 5SV5612-6?

The SENTRON series is designed to IEC 61008-1. RoHS, REACH, and UL declarations are typically available from the manufacturer upon request; include these documentation requirements with your RFQ to ensure they accompany the shipment.
