Siemens Residual current operated circuit breaker, 2-pole, 230V, 16A Part number 5SV3311-6

Product Overview

The Siemens 5SV3311-6 is a SENTRON 5SV3 residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB), 2-pole, 16 A, 30 mA, Type A — designed to detect earth leakage or fault currents and provide rapid disconnection to protect persons and equipment in AC power systems. It offers reliable protection for circuits in residential, commercial, or industrial installations requiring sensitive residual-current monitoring and rapid trip response.

Key Features

• Residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) for protection against earth leakage
• 2-pole design for single-phase or split-phase circuits
• Rated current: 16 A
• Tripping sensitivity (residual current): 30 mA — suitable for personal protection and fire prevention
• Instantaneous trip (no delay) for fastest possible disconnection
• Short-circuit current rating: 10 kA — ensures safe interruption under fault conditions
• Compact size (1-module width according to DIN 43880) — easy DIN-rail mount in distribution boards
• Durable design with mechanical service life: 10 000 switching cycles
• Insulation voltage rated 2 000 V — high dielectric resilience
• IP20 enclosure protection (in finished distribution board with connected conductors)
