Siemens 5SV6016-7KK16 Arc Fault Detection Device (AFDD) with MCB C16 2-Pole 230V 1TE

The Siemens 5SV6016-7KK16 is a compact arc fault detection device (AFDD) with integrated miniature circuit breaker (MCB), designed to protect electrical installations from arc faults and overcurrents. This 2-pole (1P+N) device combines arc fault detection and circuit protection in a single 1TE (18 mm) module, making it ideal for space-saving DIN rail installations. It detects series and parallel arc faults, reducing the risk of electrical fires, and provides reliable overcurrent protection with a C16 characteristic.

Advantages

Combines arc fault detection and MCB in one unit, saving space and installation time. Detects dangerous arc faults that standard MCBs cannot, enhancing fire safety. Compact 1TE width allows for more devices in the same distribution board. Complies with international standards IEC/EN 62606 and IEC/EN 60898-1.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial electrical distribution boards
• Circuits requiring arc fault protection (e.g., bedrooms, living areas)
• Retrofit or new installations where space is limited
• Protection of final circuits against arc faults and overcurrents
