Residual current circuit breaker 6kA PF6-40/2/003 286496

Safety and reliability in your electrical installation

Residual Current Device (RCD) PF6-40/2/003 is a key element in protecting the electrical installation, providing protection against electric shock and the effects of short circuits. The device is designed to work with circuits with a voltage of 230V and a rated current of 40A. The two-pole design makes it ideal for protecting individual circuits in homes, apartments and commercial buildings.

Functionality and installation

The RCD is mounted on a DIN rail, ensuring quick and easy installation in the distribution board. Compact dimensions (width 2 modules, depth 69.5 mm) allow for efficient use of space in the switchboard. The neutral conductor (N) can be connected on both sides, increasing flexibility during installation. The RCD has a lock that prevents accidental switching on or off. The rated differential current at 0.03A provides effective protection against hazards related to current leakage to earth.

Characteristics and application

The PF6-40/2/003 RCD is characterized by high surge current resistance (0.25 kA) and short-circuit strength at 6 kA, which guarantees reliable operation even in difficult operating conditions. The cross-section of the connectable single-wire conductor up to 35mm² and multi-wire conductor up to 16mm² allows connection of conductors of different thicknesses, adapting to the specifics of the installation. Regular testing (recommended every 6 months) helps maintain the full efficiency of the device and ensure continuous protection. The RCD complies with safety standards and has a protection class of IP20, which means protection against touching with fingers and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is 4 kV.
