Product Description
5SU1636-7FP16
The Siemens 5SU1636-7FP16 is a 3-pole Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO), designed to provide integrated protection against both residual current (earth leakage) and overcurrent (overload and short circuit) faults. This RCBO features a C-characteristic tripping curve, suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, and a 300mA residual current sensitivity, making it ideal for enhanced fire protection in industrial and commercial applications.

Key Features and Specification
- Rated Current (In): 16 A
- Rated Voltage (Un): 400 V AC
- Breaking Capacity: 6 kA
- Poles: 3
- Tripping Curve: C Characteristic (suitable for inductive loads with moderate inrush)
- Residual Current Type: Type A (sensitive to AC and pulsating DC leakage currents)
- Rated Residual Current: 300 mA
- Energy Limiting Class: 1

Technical Information
- Number:5SU1636-7FP16
- EAN: 4001869578040
- Commodity Code: 85362010
- Catalog Reference: LV10
- Product Group: 5516
- Group Code: P310
- Lifecycle Status: PM300 – Active Product
Applications
- Suitable for industrial and commercial environments with 3-phase power distribution
- Ideal for circuits with higher leakage current tolerance (e.g., long cable runs, high-capacitance installations)
- Offers comprehensive protection from earth leakage, overloads, and short circuits
- Helps prevent electrical fires and improve operational safety in high-demand systems
Summary:
The Siemens 5SU1636-7FP16 RCBO is a dependable 3-pole protective device that combines overcurrent and residual current protection into a single compact unit. With a 16A rated current and 300mA sensitivity, it is especially suitable for installations requiring fire protection or where standard 30mA RCBOs might lead to nuisance tripping. Its C-curve tripping profile ensures reliable performance in circuits with moderate inrush current, making it a robust solution for demanding electrical networks.
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.
