Product Description
5SV4648-0
The Siemens 5SV4648-0 is a 4-pole Residual Current Operated Circuit Breaker (RCCB) designed to improve electrical safety by providing protection against electric shocks and fire hazards caused by earth leakage currents. With a 100A rated current and 300mA residual sensitivity, it is suitable for medium- to high-capacity applications. Operating at 400 V AC, this RCCB features Type AC sensitivity, detecting sinusoidal AC leakage currents only.
⚠️ Important Note: The use of Type AC RCCBs is not permitted in all countries. Always follow national installation regulations before use.

Key Features and Specification
- Rated Current (In): 100 A
- Rated Voltage (Un): 400 V AC
- Poles: 4-Pole (Three-phase + Neutral)
- Residual Current Type: Type AC (detects sinusoidal AC leakage currents only)
- Rated Residual Current (IΔn): 300 mA
- Product Type: RCCB – Residual Current Circuit Breaker
- Tripping Mechanism: Electromechanical
- Mounting: DIN rail

Technical Information
- Number: 5SV4648-0
- EAN: 4047624418343
- Commodity Code: 85362090
- Catalog Reference: LV10
- Product Group: 5510
- Group Code: P310
- Lifecycle Status: PM300 – Active Product
Applications
- Suitable for three-phase installations up to 100 A
- Protects circuits by reducing risks of electric shock and fire caused by leakage currents
- Offers 300 mA sensitivity, mainly for fire protection in larger installations
- Applicable in residential, commercial, and industrial environments where Type AC devices are permitted
- Installation must comply with local/national electrical regulations
Summary:
The Siemens 5SV4648-0 RCCB is a reliable 100A, 4-pole protection device with 300mA residual sensitivity and Type AC detection. It provides effective fire and leakage protection in electrical systems, but since Type AC RCCBs are restricted in certain countries, compliance with national installation standards is mandatory. This makes it a robust solution for safe power distribution where permitted.
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.
