Hager RCBO 1P 6kA C-16A 30mA A

The Hager RCBO (Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection) Module is a safety device used in electrical installations.

Type: RCBO - This device combines the functions of an RCD (Residual Current Device) and an MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker). It protects against both overcurrent (like a circuit overload or short circuit) and earth leakage currents.

Pole Configuration: 1 Pole - Suitable for single-phase circuits. It monitors and breaks the circuit in case of faults in one live conductor.

Current Rating: 16A (Amperes) - Indicates the maximum current the device can handle before tripping. Suitable for circuits with moderate power requirements.

Tripping Characteristics: C-Type - This RCBO has a C-type tripping curve, which means it can tolerate higher inrush currents typical in inductive or capacitive loads like motors, transformers, or certain types of lighting.

RCD Sensitivity: 30mA (milliamperes) - This is the residual current level at which the RCBO will trip to prevent electric shock or fire caused by earth leakage currents.

Breaking Capacity: 6kA (kiloamperes) - This is the maximum fault current the RCBO can safely interrupt. A 6kA breaking capacity is common in residential and light commercial applications.

Class: A Class - Refers to the type of fault current the RCBO can detect. Class A RCBOs respond to both pulsating direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) residual currents.

Applications: Typically used in residential and commercial buildings to protect circuits that may have both resistive and inductive loads, such as lighting, power outlets, and appliances.

Safety and Compliance: Designed to meet safety standards and regulations, ensuring protection against electric shock and electrical fires.

Installation: Usually installed in consumer units or distribution boards. It occupies a single module space due to its compact design.

The Hager RCBO is an essential safety device in modern electrical installations, providing comprehensive protection against a range of electrical faults.
