Residual current circuit breaker 2-pole PFIM-16/2/001-MW 235389

Residual Current Device – Protection and Safety of Installations

The residual current device PFIM-16/2/001-MW is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. This device effectively protects against electric shock by detecting leakage currents to earth and quickly disconnecting the circuit. This is particularly important in rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens, as well as in places exposed to contact with water.

This two-pole residual current device with a rated current of 16A and a sensitivity of 0.01A (30mA) is designed to operate at 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. Its compact size – 2 module width – allows for easy mounting on a DIN rail in a distribution board. The locking mechanism prevents accidental switching on of the device after it has tripped, further increasing safety.

Construction features and application

The device is characterized by a high short-circuit strength of 10kA, which guarantees its reliable operation even in the event of overloads or short circuits. The ability to connect multi-strand conductors with a cross-section of 1.5 to 16 mm² and solid conductors from 1.5 to 35 mm² provides a wide range of applications. The IP20 degree of protection indicates protection against finger contact, which is important from a safety point of view.

The device is made of high-quality materials, which ensures its durability and resistance to environmental conditions – the operating temperature is in the range of -25°C to +55°C. The rated impulse voltage withstand of 4kV confirms resistance to overvoltages. Additionally, the possibility of expanding with additional equipment allows you to adapt the device to the specific needs of the installation. The device’s design meets safety standards, and its construction allows for mounting on a standard DIN rail, which facilitates installation and replacement.
