The C curve is intended for compatible circuits where normal operation can involve moderate starting or inrush current.

Potential applications include:

• Small motors

• Fans

• Pumps

• Contactors

• Solenoids

• Control transformers

• Selected lighting systems

• Industrial auxiliary circuits

The exact product datasheet confirms C characteristic.

Type AC Residual Current Protection

The 5SU1354-1RC06 uses Type AC residual-current protection.

Type AC protection is intended for compatible sinusoidal alternating residual currents.

The leakage-current waveform of the connected equipment should be considered before selecting Type AC. Equipment capable of producing pulsating DC or other residual-current components may require another residual-current protection type.

The exact Siemens technical data identifies the residual-current type as AC.

30 mA Residual Current Sensitivity

The RCBO has a rated residual operating current of 30 mA.

When the residual-current condition reaches the specified operating threshold, the device disconnects the protected circuit.

The exact Siemens datasheet confirms 30 mA rated tripping fault current.

2-Pole / 1P+N Configuration

The device has 2 poles with a 1P+N configuration, including one protected pole.

This makes it suitable for compatible single-phase circuits where phase and neutral are incorporated into the switching/protection arrangement.

Typical applications include:

• Single-phase distribution boards

• Commercial electrical panels

• Office circuits

• Building electrical systems

• Control-panel supplies

• Equipment feeders

• Industrial auxiliary circuits

240 V AC Application

The exact technical data specifies a 240 V AC supply voltage and 50 Hz operating frequency.

This makes the article suitable for compatible single-phase AC distribution systems within its specified ratings.

10 kA Short-Circuit Breaking Capacity

The 5SU1354-1RC06 has a 10 kA short-circuit current breaking capacity according to EN 61009-1.

The technical data also specifies:

• 10 kA according to EN 60898

• 35 kA according to IEC 60947-2

• 10 kA rated residual switching capacity according to IEC 61009-1

• Energy limitation class 3

The prospective short-circuit current at the installation point should still be checked during system design.

Energy Limitation Class 3

The exact technical data specifies energy limitation class 3.

This characteristic is relevant when evaluating the device's short-circuit energy-limiting behaviour within its applicable standards and installation conditions.

Compact 2-Module Design

The 5SU1354-1RC06 is specified as a 2-module RCBO.

Siemens gives a physical width of 36 mm and 2 modular width units.

• Control panels

• Sub-distribution boards

• Industrial electrical enclosures

The 2-module designation refers to physical panel space and does not indicate a power rating.

DIN-Rail / Modular Installation

The Siemens 5SU1 RCBO family is designed for modular electrical installation.

The 5SU1354-1RC06 can be integrated into compatible distribution boards and electrical panels alongside other DIN-mounted protection and control devices.

The exact mounting arrangement should follow Siemens' installation instructions and applicable national electrical regulations.

Overload Protection

The overcurrent section of the RCBO protects the connected circuit against sustained excessive current caused by overload.

The 6 A rating should be coordinated with:

• Cable ampacity

• Connected load

• Installation method

• Ambient conditions

• Protection requirements

Correct coordination helps protect the circuit while minimizing nuisance tripping.

Short-Circuit Protection

The RCBO also provides integrated short-circuit protection.

Its 10 kA EN 61009-1 breaking capacity should be considered against the prospective fault current at the installation point.

Residual-Current Protection

Residual current occurs when part of the electrical current flows through an unintended path, such as leakage to earth.

The RCBO monitors this condition and disconnects the protected circuit when the residual-current operating threshold reaches 30 mA.

This adds residual-current protection to the integrated overload and short-circuit functions.

C-Curve Applications

The C characteristic can be suitable for compatible loads with moderate inrush current.

Potential applications include:

• Small pumps

• Fans

• Small motors

• Solenoids

• Contactors

• Control transformers

• Industrial auxiliary equipment

• Selected commercial equipment

The actual application should be evaluated according to the load's starting-current characteristics.

Type AC Load Compatibility

The 5SU1354-1RC06 is intended for compatible sinusoidal AC residual currents.

For modern electronic equipment containing rectifiers, variable-speed drives or other power electronics, the appropriate residual-current type should be verified before selecting Type AC.
