3P 32A 230-400V RCBO Type C 6kA EN61009

1) Combined 2-in-1 protection for enhanced safetyThis miniature residual current circuit breaker (RCBO type, circuit breaker + residual current protection) combines in a single device protection against overloads and short circuits as well as protection against earth leakage currents. It is designed to limit the risks of conductor overheating, equipment damage and above all the dangers of electric shock linked to an insulation fault. This all-in-one choice is particularly relevant in a consumer unit or control cabinet when complete protection is required, simpler to manage than an arrangement separating the circuit breaker and residual current device, while optimising space and maintenance.2) 3 poles (3P): synchronised protection of three-phase circuitsWith its 3P configuration, the device is suited to three-phase installations and applications requiring coordinated disconnection of several conductors. In the event of a fault (overcurrent, short circuit or insulation fault causing leakage), it trips quickly in order to de-energise the circuit and reduce the risk of operation under degraded conditions (for example, limiting the effects of an imbalance or a situation that could lead to material damage). This design meets the common needs of workshops, small production sites, shops, technical rooms, sub-distribution boards and machine enclosures.3) 32 A rating and 230/400 V – 50/60 Hz network compatibilityThe 32 A rated current corresponds to medium-power circuits, typical of many three-phase outgoing ways for equipment, industrial sockets, sub-boards or mixed uses depending on the installation sizing. The device is rated for use in AC 230–400 V and operates at 50–60 Hz, making it compatible with the majority of networks and operating contexts encountered in Europe. For reliable selection, the rating must be consistent with the conductor cross-section, the nature of the loads and the current actually expected under steady-state operation in order to avoid any prolonged operation at the limit (overheating, premature ageing).4) C tripping curve: more tolerant of inrush currentThe C curve is a common choice for circuits supplying loads with start-up inrush current: small motors, pumps, fans, compressors, switch-mode power supplies, or circuits combining lighting and sockets. It helps reduce nuisance tripping linked to current peaks while ensuring protection against overcurrents and short circuits according to the operating principles of a miniature circuit breaker. In professional or semi-industrial environments, this characteristic improves continuity of service and limits unwanted stoppages.5) EN 61009 compliance and 6 kA breaking capacity: suited to standard distribution boardsCompliant with EN 61009 (residual current circuit breakers), this model has a 6 kA breaking capacity, a value frequently suitable for standard distribution installations (housing, small commercial premises, light workshops), provided that the prospective short-circuit level at the installation point remains compatible. For safe installation, the work must be carried out by a qualified professional in compliance with the wiring diagram, terminal identification and good practice rules (tightening, marking, dry and clean environment). Important: the rated residual current (e.g. 30 mA / 100 mA) and certain mechanical data are not specified in the information provided; it is therefore recommended to check the nameplate or technical data sheet before approval, particularly if the application is intended for personal protection or a specific specification (selectivity, type of residual current protection, etc.).
