Key technical parameters and selection guidance
1. Electrical performance and environmental adaptability
The 5SN series products comply with multiple standards such as GB, IEC, EN, etc., with a rated voltage of 230/400V AC. The operating temperature range is -25 ℃ to+45 ℃, and the storage temperature can reach -40 ℃ to+75 ℃. The product has good resistance to moisture and heat, as well as adaptability to pollution levels, and can operate stably in various harsh environments.
2. Example of selection representation
When selecting, it is necessary to choose based on parameters such as load current, breaking capacity, number of poles, and trip curve. For example:
The lighting circuit can use 5SN6 B10 1P (10A, B curve, 6kA break);
Recommended socket circuit: 5SN6 C16 1P+N (16A, C-curve, with neutral wire protection);
The power load can be selected as 5SN4 D32 3P (32A, D-curve, 10kA break).
3. Application correction in high-altitude areas
According to GB/T 20645-2006, electrical parameters need to be corrected when used in high-altitude areas. For example, at an altitude of 4000m, the rated current correction factor is 0.91 and the breaking capacity factor is 0.78. When selecting, the product specifications should be correspondingly increased to ensure effective protection.
Typical application scheme
1. Residential power distribution solution
For small, medium, and large residential and duplex villas, the 5SN series offers flexible configurations:
Small residential unit: equipped with 5SV9 compact RCBO and 5SN6 circuit breaker, with a total width of only 7-8 modules, suitable for SIMBOX 1 × 8 distribution box.
Large residential units: can use a combination of 2 RCBOs and multiple MCBs to achieve zoning protection, with both economic and safety considerations.
Duplex/Villa: It is recommended to adopt a graded distribution scheme, where the main box and distribution box work together to improve system reliability and wiring simplicity.
2. Commercial and industrial applications
In commercial buildings, data centers, factory workshops and other occasions, the 5SN series can be combined with 5SD74 surge protectors, 5TT5 contactors, 5TL1 isolating switches and other products to build a comprehensive distribution system that integrates short-circuit protection, overload protection, leakage protection, overvoltage protection, and remote control.
Installation, storage, and maintenance recommendations
When installing the product, ensure that the wiring is firm, the polarity is correct, and follow the prescribed tightening torque (such as 3.5Nm). Long term storage is recommended in a dry environment of 20 ℃ -25 ℃ and relative humidity of 20% -30%, avoiding contact with corrosive substances. When stored in high temperature, high humidity or low temperature areas, it should be installed and used as soon as possible to avoid terminal oxidation.
Conclusion
The Siemens 5SN series terminal power distribution products have become an indispensable core component of modern building electrical systems due to their comprehensive product line, excellent technical performance, flexible configuration solutions, and reliable safety guarantees. Whether it is a new construction project or a renovation project, the 5SN series can provide users with electrical solutions that prioritize value selection and build the foundation for success, helping to achieve safe, efficient, and sustainable power supply.
