The Siemens 5SU1654-1RC10 is a SENTRON / Betagard 5SU1 Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO) designed to combine overload, short-circuit and residual-current protection in one compact device. The exact Siemens India product designation identifies it as a 10 A, 2-pole, 2-module, C-characteristic, Type AC, 300 mA RCBO. Siemens' current product data for the corresponding 5SU1 10 A RCBO confirms a 10 kA, 1P+N, 300 mA, C-characteristic device with 230/240 V AC supply capability.
The 5SU1654-1RC10 belongs to the Siemens SENTRON / Betagard 5SU1 RCBO family.
Unlike an RCCB, which primarily provides residual-current protection, an RCBO combines several protective functions in one device:
Overload protection
Short-circuit protection
Residual-current protection
This integrated arrangement can simplify electrical-panel construction and provide dedicated protection to an individual circuit.
Siemens' India product information identifies the 5SU1654-1RC10 as an active 5SU1 RCBO with the specified 10 A, 2-pole, 2-module, C-characteristic, Type AC, 300 mA configuration.
The RCBO has a rated current of 10 A.
This makes it suitable for compatible single-phase circuits designed around a 10 A protective device.
Potential applications include:
Lighting circuits
Control circuits
Instrumentation circuits
Building auxiliary circuits
Small electronic equipment
Automation control circuits
Small single-phase loads
The final current rating should be selected according to the connected load, conductor capacity, installation method and applicable electrical requirements.
The 5SU1654-1RC10 uses a C tripping characteristic.
The C curve is intended for circuits where normal operation can involve moderate starting or inrush currents.
Potential applications include:
Small motors
Fans
Pumps
Solenoids
Control transformers
Contactors
Compatible lighting equipment
Industrial auxiliary circuits
The C characteristic should be selected according to the load's starting current and the complete protection-coordination requirements.
The 5SU1654-1RC10 uses Type AC residual-current protection.
Type AC RCBOs are intended for compatible sinusoidal alternating residual currents.
The exact residual-current waveform of the connected equipment should be considered before selecting the RCCB or RCBO type.
The India product description for the exact article identifies it as Type AC.
The RCBO has a rated residual operating current of 300 mA.
When the residual-current condition reaches the specified operating threshold, the RCBO disconnects the protected circuit.
The 300 mA sensitivity should be selected according to the overall electrical protection design. It should not automatically be replaced with a 30 mA device because the two provide different residual-current operating thresholds.
Siemens' current technical data for the corresponding 10 A RCBO confirms 300 mA sensitivity.
The device is a 2-pole / 1+N RCBO, making it suitable for compatible single-phase electrical circuits.
This configuration incorporates phase and neutral into the switching arrangement.
Typical applications include:
Single-phase distribution boards
Commercial electrical panels
Building electrical installations
Office circuits
Equipment feeders
Industrial auxiliary circuits
Control-panel supplies
Siemens' current technical data for the corresponding 10 A RCBO specifies a 230 V AC rated operating voltage, with the supply voltage range shown as 230/240 V AC.
This makes the device suitable for compatible single-phase AC distribution systems within its specified ratings.
The corresponding Siemens 10 A RCBO is specified as a 10 kA device.
The 10 kA capability should be considered together with the prospective short-circuit current at the installation point and the complete protection arrangement.
The RCBO provides its own overcurrent protection, but electrical system coordination is still required.
The product is specified as a 2-module RCBO.
A two-module device occupies approximately 36 mm of standard modular panel width.
This compact design helps save space in:
DIN-rail distribution boards
Control panels
Commercial electrical panels
Sub-distribution boards
Industrial electrical enclosures
The 5SU1 family is designed for compact modular circuit protection.
The 5SU1 RCBO family is designed for modular electrical installation.
The compact form factor allows the RCBO to be installed with compatible DIN-mounted circuit protection and control components according to the panel design.
This makes it suitable for electrical panel builders and contractors working with modular distribution systems.
The overcurrent section of the RCBO provides protection against excessive current caused by a sustained overload.
The 10 A rated current should be coordinated with the cable size and connected load to ensure appropriate circuit protection.
The RCBO also provides short-circuit protection.
When a short-circuit condition occurs, the overcurrent protection section interrupts the circuit according to its specified characteristics.
The 10 kA short-circuit rating should be considered against the prospective fault current at the installation point.
Residual current occurs when part of the electrical current leaves the intended circuit path, such as through an unintended leakage path to earth.
The RCBO monitors the relevant current condition and disconnects the circuit when the residual-current operating threshold is reached.
With Type AC and 300 mA residual-current protection, this model is intended for compatible AC leakage-current applications.
The C characteristic can be useful for compatible circuits with moderate inrush current.
Potential applications include:
Small fans
Pumps
Solenoids
Contactors
Small transformers
Auxiliary motors
Control equipment
Selected lighting circuits
The actual selection should be based on the load's inrush characteristics and electrical protection requirements.
The 5SU1654-1RC10 can be considered for compatible:
Lighting circuits
Control circuits
Instrumentation circuits
Building auxiliary circuits
Commercial distribution systems
Small equipment feeders
Industrial control circuits
Single-phase electrical panels
The final application should follow the electrical system design and applicable standards.
The 5SU1654-1RC10 is an RCBO.
An RCCB primarily provides residual-current protection and normally requires separate overcurrent protection.
An RCBO combines:
Residual-current protection + overload protection + short-circuit protection
in one device.
This can reduce panel component count and simplify circuit-level protection.
The 5SU1654-1RC16 is the higher-rated 16 A variant in the same general Type AC, 300 mA, C-characteristic family.
Therefore:
5SU1654-1RC10 → 10 A
5SU1654-1RC16 → 16 A
The primary difference is the rated current. The Siemens India product range also lists the 16 A version with the same Type AC, 300 mA and C-characteristic format.
The Siemens 5SU1654-1RC25 is the corresponding 25 A, 2-pole, 2-module, C-characteristic, Type AC, 300 mA RCBO.
Therefore:
5SU1654-1RC10 → 10 A
5SU1654-1RC16 → 16 A
5SU1654-1RC25 → 25 A
The correct rated current should be selected according to the protected circuit.
The 5SU1654-1RC32 is a higher-current variant in the same 5SU1 Type AC RCBO range.
The 5SU1654-1RC10 is specifically selected for circuits requiring a 10 A rated protective device.
The 5SU1654-7RC10 belongs to the Type A version of the 5SU1 RCBO family, while 5SU1654-1RC10 is specifically Type AC.
Therefore:
5SU1654-1RC10 → Type AC, 10 A, 300 mA
5SU1654-7RC10 → Type A, 10 A, 300 mA
The key difference is the residual-current type.
The Siemens 5SU1 family also includes RCBOs with 30 mA residual-current sensitivity.
The 5SU1654-1RC10 is specifically the 300 mA version.
A 30 mA RCBO should not be treated as a direct substitute without confirming the protection requirements of the electrical circuit.
The 5SU1654-1RC10 uses a C characteristic, which is intended for compatible loads with moderate inrush currents.
A B-characteristic device is generally intended for circuits with lower inrush requirements.
The correct tripping characteristic should be selected according to load behavior and protection coordination.
The Siemens 5SU1654-1RC10 is relevant for:
Electrical panel builders
Industrial buyers
Electrical contractors
Commercial electrical contractors
Facility-maintenance teams
OEMs
Machine builders
Electrical distributors
Building-services contractors
Electrical product dealers
