2P 6A residual current circuit breaker C curve 6kA 230-400V

1) Combined protection: circuit breaker + residual current device in a single module (RCBO, EN 61009 standard)This miniature circuit breaker with integrated residual current protection combines, in one device, protection against overcurrents (overload) and protection against short circuits, while also ensuring disconnection in the event of leakage current likely to cause a risk of electric shock or abnormal heating of conductors. Installed at the head of a small outgoing circuit, in a distribution board, a control box or at the entry of equipment, it helps protect people, cables and devices alike. In the event of a fault, the device trips quickly in order to limit the spread of the fault, reduce potential damage and improve service continuity for the rest of the installation.2) 2P: double-pole disconnection for cleaner circuit isolationThe 2-pole (2P) version is designed to simultaneously interrupt two conductors, which corresponds to a very common use on single-phase circuits where phase + neutral are to be disconnected (or, depending on the diagram, two wires of a control circuit). This double-pole disconnection provides a practical maintenance advantage: during troubleshooting or isolation, a more complete power cut is obtained, making intervention safer and more straightforward. It is a solution particularly appreciated in cabinets and small enclosures where clear isolation of the protected outgoing circuit is required, without multiplying components (a single device instead of a circuit breaker + a separate residual current device).3) 6 A rating: ideal for small outgoing circuits, control circuits and modest loadsWith a rated current of 6 A, this model is intended for low-power circuits: lighting, sockets or specific low-load outgoing circuits, control circuits, supply of small auxiliaries, fans, pumps controlled via a control circuit, or upstream protection of compact equipment. The advantage of a 6 A rating is that it offers finer and more responsive protection than a higher-rated circuit breaker, avoiding oversizing the protection and losing sensitivity on a small outgoing circuit. Please note: this is not a universal rating for large appliances (water heaters, hobs, air conditioning, etc.); it is mainly suitable for dedicated outgoing circuits where the expected current is controlled.4) C curve: a good compromise for common uses, without nuisance trippingThe C tripping curve is a versatile choice for domestic and light commercial installations: it better tolerates inrush current peaks on start-up (small motors, power supplies, loads with moderate inrush) than a B curve, while retaining effective tripping capability in the event of a clear fault. In practical terms, this results in fewer nuisance trips related to normal start-ups, while maintaining reliable protection when a short circuit or genuine overcurrent occurs. This behaviour makes it a suitable option for lighting circuits, control outgoing circuits and small equipment likely to present an inrush current.5) Main data for integration into EU installations + 6 kA breaking capacityDesigned for AC 230–400 V networks at 50/60 Hz, this residual current circuit breaker (functional RCBO type) complies with EN 61009, often required for projects and technical documentation in Europe. Its 6 kA breaking capacity makes it suitable for many downstream distribution board applications in residential and small commercial settings, where expected short-circuit levels remain compatible (to be validated according to the site short-circuit study). For optimal use, it is recommended to have the connection carried out by a professional, to respect input/output identification and to periodically check correct operation of the residual current section via the TEST button when present.Important note for selection: the residual current sensitivity (e.g. 30 mA / 100 mA), dimensions (DIN modules), terminal capacity and certain mechanical details may vary depending on the exact version. If you provide the photo of the label or the sensitivity value (IΔn), the description can be completed in a way that is strictly compliant with the model.
