Siemens 5SV6016-6KK16 AFDD/MCB Combination Device B16 2-Pole 230V 1TE

The Siemens 5SV6016-6KK16 is a compact AFDD/MCB combination device designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads, short circuits, and arc faults. This 2-pole (1P+N) unit with a rated current of 16 A and B tripping characteristic is ideal for residential and commercial applications where enhanced fire protection is required. It combines an arc fault detection device (AFDD) and a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) in a single 1 module width (1TE) housing, saving space in distribution boards.

Advantages

Integrated arc fault detection provides early warning and disconnection in case of dangerous series or parallel arc faults, reducing the risk of electrical fires. The B characteristic ensures fast tripping for resistive and small inductive loads. DIN rail mounting simplifies installation, and screw terminals allow secure connection of conductors up to 16 mm².

Suitable for

• Protection of final circuits in residential buildings
• Commercial installations requiring arc fault protection
• Retrofitting existing distribution boards with enhanced safety
• Circuits supplying lighting, outlets, and small appliances
