Residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection C/6kA, 16A, 30mA, 2-pole, type A ADA966D

Safety and reliability in one device

Residual Current Device with Overcurrent protection is a key element of electrical installation protection, combining functions of protection against overload and short circuit, as well as against electric shock. The ADA966D model from Hager, with a rated current of 16A and a tripping current of 30mA, provides comprehensive protection for both the installation and users. The 2-pole design (2P) makes it ideal for protecting 230V circuits.

Characteristics and application

This RCD is characterized by a C characteristic, which means it allows for short-term overloads, typical of devices with induction motors (e.g. refrigerators, washing machines). The rated short-circuit breaking capacity at 6kA guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure. Type A indicates its ability to detect alternating and direct leakage currents, which increases the level of safety. It can be used to protect lighting circuits, socket outlets and electrical appliances in residential and commercial buildings.

Key features and benefits

• Versatile application: Ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and electrical appliances.

• Overload and short-circuit protection: C characteristic provides effective protection against damage to the installation caused by overloads.

• Protection against electric shock: 30mA sensitivity ensures a quick response in the event of a leakage current, minimizing the risk of electric shock.

• High short-circuit breaking capacity: 6kA guarantees safe disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure.

• Flush mounting: Allows for aesthetic and discreet placement of the switch in the distribution board.

• Locking: Prevents accidental switching on of the switch after it has been switched off by the protection.

• Wide operating temperature range: From -25°C to 40°C allows use in various environmental conditions.

• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of IEC 60947-2 and EN 61009-1 standards, ensuring safety and reliability.

Additionally, it is worth paying attention to the innovative solutions of Hager: vertical comb busbars facilitate connections in the distribution board, and a protective flap on the description field ensures clear labeling of devices. Double mounting clips allow for easy removal and replacement of the switch without having to unscrew adjacent devices (in the 10kA version). Indicators of contact position and residual current release facilitate fault diagnosis.
