What type of protective device is this?

It is a compact RCBO (Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection). It combines residual-current (RCD) protection with miniature circuit breaker (MCB) protection in one device, helping protect against earth leakage, overloads and short-circuits.

What does 1P+N mean on this RCBO?

1P+N means the device switches and isolates both the live (phase) and neutral conductors, with overcurrent protection applied to the live pole. Neutral switching is included.

What are the key electrical ratings?

Rated operational voltage is 230 V AC at 50 Hz. The rated current is 6 A with a C tripping characteristic, and the rated residual operating current is 30 mA (Type A).

What does a C-curve tripping characteristic mean in practice?

A C characteristic is typically chosen where short, higher inrush currents are expected compared to B-curve devices. It reduces nuisance tripping during normal start-up currents while still providing overcurrent protection.

What is residual current Type A, and when is it used?

Type A residual-current protection detects both AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents. It is commonly used on circuits with modern electronic loads that may create pulsating DC leakage.

What is the short-circuit breaking capacity?

The rated short-circuit breaking capacity is 4.5 kA (Icn) to EN 61009-1. It is also listed as 4.5 kA to EN 60898 and 5 kA to IEC 60947-2.

What are the physical dimensions and how much DIN-rail space does it take?

It is designed for 1 modular width (18 mm). Typical dimensions are 90 mm (height), 18 mm (width) and 77 mm (depth), with an installation depth of around 70 mm.

What cable sizes can be connected to the terminals?

Connectable conductor cross-sections are 0.75 to 16 mm² for solid and stranded conductors, and 0.75 to 10 mm² for finely stranded conductors with suitable end processing. Screw terminal tightening torque is typically 1.2 to 2 N·m.

Can the supply be connected from the top or bottom?

Yes. The power supply connection can be made either from the top or the bottom, which can simplify panel layout depending on the distribution board design.

How does ambient temperature affect the usable current?

The nominal current is 6 A at 30 °C. As ambient temperature rises, the usable continuous current derates (for example, approximately 5.64 A at 40 °C and 4.44 A at 70 °C).

What ingress protection does the device provide once installed?

When fitted in a distribution board with connected conductors, it is rated IP20, providing touch protection against finger access to live parts under normal installation conditions.

Are there any material or design features relevant to panel build standards?

Yes. This RCBO includes touch protection features and is specified as halogen-free and silicon-free, which may be beneficial where panel material requirements or contamination considerations apply. The Siemens reference for this configuration is 5SV1313-7KK06.
