Product Description
5SV3612-8
The Siemens 5SV3612-8 is a 2-pole Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) designed for selective protection in single-phase systems. With Type A sensitivity, it detects sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC leakage currents, providing reliable protection against electric shock and fire hazards. This selective RCCB is specially engineered to coordinate with downstream residual current devices, ensuring discrimination and selective tripping in complex installations. With a 25A rated current and 300mA residual current sensitivity, it is ideal for systems requiring enhanced selectivity and safety.

- Enhances system reliability by preventing unnecessary tripping in case of faults
- Provides protection against fire hazards and electric shock due to leakage currents
Summary:
The 5SV3612-8 RCCB from Siemens is a 25A 2-pole Type A selective residual current device with 300mA sensitivity, designed for 230V AC single-phase systems. Its time-delayed tripping characteristic enables selective coordination with other devices in the system, making it a reliable solution for tiered protection schemes in modern electrical installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
