Residual Current Device (RCD) VigiiC60-25-2-30-A 25A 2-pole 30mA type A A9W21225

Residual Current Device – Protection and Safety of Installations

This two-pole Vigi iC60 residual current device with a rated current of 25A and a sensitivity of 30mA (Type A) is a key element ensuring safety in electrical installations. Designed to protect people from electric shock and to protect the installation from the effects of short circuits and overloads, it will be useful both in new construction and during the modernization of existing systems. Its compact dimensions (72 x 86 x 112 mm) make it easy to install even in limited spaces.

Characteristics and Application

The Acti 9 series residual current device from Schneider Electric is intended for use in alternating current circuits with a voltage of 230/240V and a frequency of 50/60Hz. Thanks to its Type A sensitivity, it effectively detects leakage currents to earth, minimizing the risk of electric shock. This is particularly important in wet rooms, such as bathrooms and kitchens, as well as in places where electrical appliances with an increased risk of failure are present. The rated current of 25A allows for the protection of typical lighting and socket circuits.

Advantages and Design Features

• Fast reaction: 30mA sensitivity ensures quick disconnection of the circuit in the event of a leakage current, which significantly increases user safety.
• Wide operating temperature range: The ability to operate in a temperature range from -25°C to 60°C makes the residual current device reliable even in difficult environmental conditions.
• Cable compatibility: Accepts both solid (1-25 mm²) and stranded (1-16 mm²) wires, making installation and adaptation to existing infrastructure easier.
• High surge current resistance: Withstands surge currents up to 0.25kA, providing additional protection of the installation against sudden overvoltages.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of EN 61009-1 and IEC 61009-1 standards, guaranteeing safety and reliability of operation.
• Rated insulation voltage Ui: 500V provides adequate electrical insulation.
• Rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp: 6kV – high resistance to overvoltages.
• Power loss: Low power loss of only 1.4W translates into energy savings.
• IP20 protection degree: Provides protection against finger contact and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.

This residual current device is a solid solution for professionals and end users looking for reliable protection for their electrical installations.
