Residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection 1P+N 10kA C 16A/10mA Type A ACA566D

Safety and electrical installation protection

This residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection combines short-circuit and electric shock protection, providing comprehensive safety in your home or business. The device is designed to protect electrical circuits with a voltage of 240V, and its rated current is 16A. The short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a dangerous failure.

Characteristics and application

The circuit breaker is characterized by a C characteristic, which means it reacts more slowly to short-term current surges – this is particularly important when connecting devices with motors that generate high starting current. At the same time, it provides a quick response in the event of an overload or short circuit. Designed for single-phase installations, it has a neutral (N) pole disconnected simultaneously with the phase. Sensitivity A means that the circuit breaker is designed to detect leakage currents with a value of 10mA, providing protection against electric shock.

Installation and design features

The device occupies 2 module widths, which facilitates installation in standard electrical distribution boards. The possibility of flush mounting increases the aesthetic appeal of the installation. Made of high-quality materials, it meets safety standards and withstands operation at temperatures from -25°C to 40°C. A lock is used to prevent accidental switching on of the circuit breaker after tripping. The possibility of connecting multi-wire conductors with a cross-section from 1 to 16 mm² and solid conductors from 1 to 25 mm² provides flexibility during installation. The degree of protection IP20 protects against touching with fingers and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
