Safety and electrical installation protection

A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) is a key element of every electrical installation, providing protection against the effects of short circuits, overloads, and electric shock. This model, with a rated current of 16A and C characteristic, is perfect for securing circuits with higher power demand, such as general-purpose sockets or lighting. Its 4-pole design guarantees full protection in three-phase systems.

Characteristics and application

The C characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts more slowly to short-term current surges, which is particularly important when connecting devices with electric motors (e.g., refrigerators, washing machines). This avoids unnecessary tripping of the circuit when starting these devices. The rated differential current of 30mA ensures a quick response in the event of a current leakage to earth, minimizing the risk of electric shock. This is important for the safety of users and the protection of equipment. The breaking capacity of 10kA guarantees effective interruption of the circuit in the event of a short circuit with high energy.

Construction and mounting

The circuit breaker has a width of 105 mm, which corresponds to 4 modules in a standard distribution board. Its depth of 69 mm and height of 85 mm allow for easy installation even in limited space. The inability to simultaneously disconnect the N pole facilitates the identification of damaged wires and shortens repair time. The solid construction ensures reliable operation for a long time, and the CE marking confirms compliance with European safety standards. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable regulations and standards.
