Product Description
5SV3312-6
The Siemens 5SV3312-6 is a 2-pole Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) designed to ensure safe and reliable protection against earth leakage currents. With a rated current of 25A and 30mA residual current sensitivity, it is suitable for a wide range of applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. The Type A sensitivity enables it to detect both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC leakage currents, offering enhanced protection for modern installations with electronic devices.

Key Features and Specification
- Rated Current (In): 25 A
- Rated Voltage (Un): 230 V AC
- Poles: 2 (L + N)
- Residual Current Type: Type A (detects sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC leakage currents)
- Rated Residual Current: 30 mA
- Breaking Capacity: Not applicable (RCCBs do not provide overcurrent protection)
- Energy Limiting Class: Not specified

Technical Information
- Number: 5SV3312-6
- EAN: 4001869429632
- Commodity Code: 85362010
- Catalog Reference: LV10.1
- Product Group: 5511
- Group Code: P310
- Lifecycle Status: PM300 – Active Product
Applications
- Designed for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations
- Suitable for protecting socket circuits, lighting systems, and appliances operating up to 25A
- Provides vital protection against indirect contact and reduces the risk of electrical fires
- Must be used alongside a separate overcurrent protection device (e.g. MCB), as RCCBs do not protect against short circuits or overloads
Summary:
The 5SV3312-6 RCCB by Siemens delivers dependable protection for 230V AC 2-pole circuits, offering a 25A current rating and 30mA Type A leakage sensitivity. It is a robust and effective safety solution for detecting earth faults and ensuring protection of people and equipment in modern electrical installations.
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.
