What the ratings mean for fit
The 5SV6016-7KP13: The C-curve tripping characteristic means the magnetic trip operates at 5 to 10 times rated current (65 A to 130 A for this 13 A unit), suited for moderate inrush loads like lighting circuits or small motor starters. The 6 kA breaking capacity is the same under both EN 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 — no derating needed when switching between residential and industrial standards. The arc-fault detection covers both series arcs (2 A to 13 A) and parallel arcs (50 A to 500 A), per the listed minimum and maximum values. The 1P+N design switches the neutral, which matters for single-phase final circuits where isolation of both poles is required. The 10 000 mechanical switching cycles is typical for this class — adequate for most panel duty, not for frequent switching applications.
Mounting and environmental limits
Mounts on DIN rail (REG) in any position — no orientation restrictions. The installation depth is 70 mm; the overall depth is 68.5 mm, so it sits flush with the rail. The IP20 rating applies with connected conductors and a protective device — standard for enclosed distribution boards. Ambient temperature range is -40 °C to 75 °C, with a derated limit of 55 °C at 95% relative humidity. Pollution degree 2 and overvoltage category III cover typical fixed-installation environments. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction per the listed specs.
