Residual current circuit breaker EFI-P2 A 16/0.5 002061140

Safety and protection in your electrical installation

Residual Current Device (RCD) EFI-P2 A 16/0.5 is a key element of every modern electrical installation, providing protection for people and devices against the effects of electric shock and fire hazard. This device, designed for mounting on a DIN rail, effectively reacts to leakage currents, minimizing the risk of dangerous situations. Its compact dimensions – only 2 modules wide – allow for easy adaptation to an existing distribution board.

Functionality and application

The RCD type A is sensitive to both AC differential currents and pulsating DC currents, making it a universal solution for a wide range of applications. It will work in TN-S, TN-C-S, TT and IT networks. The use of RCDs with a differential current ≤ 30 mA is recommended to ensure additional protection against direct contact with live parts. A differential current value of 0.5 A provides effective protection against the effects of insulation damage and potential fire hazards.

• Protection against electric shock: Protects against direct and indirect contact with live parts.
• Fire protection: Minimizes the risk of fire caused by damage to cable insulation.
• Versatility: Can be used in various network types (TN-S, TN-C-S, TT, IT).
• High reliability: Ensured by a fully automated production line and regular quality tests.
• Easy status identification: Contact position indicator makes it easy to check whether the switch is on (ON) or off (OFF).

Technical parameters and construction

The EFI-P2 A 16/0.5 RCD is characterized by a high short-circuit strength of 10 kA, which guarantees its stable operation even in the event of overloads. It is adapted to cooperate with multi-wire and solid-core wires with a cross-section of 25 mm². The rated differential current is 0.5 A, and the rated current of the switch is 16 A at a rated voltage of 240 V AC and a frequency of 50/60 Hz. The IP20 degree of protection provides basic protection against touch and contamination. The terminal block design allows the use of insulated busbars on both the upper and lower terminals, which facilitates installation and improves the aesthetics of the installation. Additionally, the switch has terminals protected against contact with live parts and the possibility of sealing the lever in the "On" and "Off" positions.
