Siemens SENTRON 5SV1316-3KK16 RCBO typ F 30mA B16 1P+N 16A 6kA

The Siemens SENTRON 5SV1316-3KK16 is a compact Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO) designed for reliable protection in industrial and commercial applications. This Type F device combines a 16 A overcurrent release (B characteristic) with a 30 mA residual current protection, ensuring safety against both overloads and earth faults. Ideal for circuits with frequency converters or other equipment generating mixed frequencies, the Type F design provides enhanced immunity to unwanted tripping.

Advantages

Combined overcurrent and residual current protection in a single device saves space and installation time. Type F sensitivity ensures compatibility with modern electronic loads. High short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA guarantees robust performance. Easy DIN rail mounting and screw terminals simplify wiring.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels
• Commercial building distribution boards
• Circuits with frequency converters, UPS systems, or LED lighting
• Protection of final circuits in TN and TT systems
