Product Description
5SU1353-1KK16
The Siemens 5SU1353-1KK16 is a 1-pole + Neutral Residual Current Operated Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO) designed for comprehensive circuit protection in single-phase installations. This compact device integrates residual current protection (earth leakage detection) and overcurrent protection (including both overload and short-circuit protection) into a single unit. With a C-characteristic tripping curve, it is suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as mixed load circuits, lighting, or small motors.
The RCBO features Type AC sensitivity, meaning it detects pure alternating current (AC) leakage.
> ⚠️ Important: This device may not be permitted for use in all countries. Always refer to national installation regulations before use.

- Provides reliable and compact protection against electric shock, overloads, and short circuits
- Designed for use in systems with moderate switching surges
Summary:
The Siemens 5SU1353-1KK16 RCBO offers reliable dual protection in single-phase 230V systems. With a 16A current rating and 30 mA earth leakage sensitivity, it is an effective choice for safeguarding people and property from electrical hazards. Its Type AC sensitivity and C-curve tripping behavior make it a versatile solution for general-purpose applications. Please ensure local regulatory compliance, as usage is restricted in some regions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MCB protection?
✅ MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) protects against overloads and short circuits. Overload protection works via a bimetallic strip (thermal operation), while short-circuit protection uses a tripping coil (electromagnetic operation). This ensures electrical safety in homes, businesses, and industries.
What is the rule for installing an SPD?
✅ SPD (Surge Protection Device) connections should be as short as possible to minimize the voltage protection level (Up). The total length of connections to the network and earth should not exceed 50 cm to ensure effective surge protection.
How to Set Up a Surge Protector?
1.Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove the old outlet.
3. Connect wires to the new surge-protected outlet per the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Secure the outlet in the box and replace the cover plate.
5. Restore power and test the outlet.
What is the use of RCCB in Siemens?
✅ Siemens Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCBs) protect against electric shock by detecting leakage currents. If the leakage exceeds a set limit, the RCCB immediately disconnects the circuit, ensuring safety from direct or indirect contact with live components.
Where is an RCBO used?
✅ RCBOs (Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Overcurrent protection) are commonly used in various residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Typical use cases include power distribution boards, emergency lighting circuits, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, socket outlets, and swimming pool equipment. RCBOs are ideal for protecting individual circuits where both earth fault and overcurrent protection are required.
Where to Install RCCB?
✅ RCCBs should be installed in the distribution board (DB box) or circuit breaker panel to protect against current leakages caused by faulty wiring, ageing insulation, or defective appliances.
