3P 6A Type C 6kA RCBO EN61009

1) Combined 2-in-1 protection, designed for everyday safetyThis 3P 6 A miniature RCBO combines in a single device protection against overloads and short circuits (circuit breaker function) and residual current protection (earth leakage). This combination helps protect cables, equipment and above all people by limiting the risks of abnormal overheating, damage to conductors, electrically caused fire or electric shock. By integrating both functions into the same module, you get clearer wiring in the distribution board, space savings and simplified maintenance during diagnostics.2) 3-pole (3P) format: clean disconnection of three-phase or multi-conductor circuitsThe 3P version is particularly suitable for three-phase circuits or applications where several conductors need to be disconnected simultaneously (for example certain control outgoing lines, small three-phase equipment, lighting or auxiliaries in an industrial environment). In the event of a fault, disconnection is cleaner and more consistent across the whole affected outgoing line, which helps prevent a circuit from remaining partially energised in a degraded state, a situation that can lead to overheating, abnormal load operation and repeated faults.3) 6 A rating: ideal for low-power outgoing lines and control circuitsWith a rated current of 6 A, this model is very suitable for small lines: supply of control circuits, instrumentation, contactor coils, automation systems, small auxiliaries, or certain technical outgoing lines where the current remains moderate. For reliable operation, it is recommended not to run the circuit continuously at the limit of the rating: keeping a margin reduces overheating and improves long-term stability. For higher-power loads, a higher rating should be selected in order to remain consistent with the sizing of conductors and protections.4) C tripping curve + 6 kA breaking capacity: tolerance to inrush currents and robust protectionThe C curve is well suited to loads with a starting inrush current (small motors, coils, power supplies, certain electromechanical equipment). It limits nuisance tripping while maintaining a rapid response in the event of a short circuit. The 6 kA breaking capacity provides an appreciable safety margin against fault currents encountered in many commercial and light industrial installations. Final performance also depends on the quality of the installation: correct tightening of terminals, suitable conductors, no poor contacts (often responsible for discreet but dangerous overheating).5) Designed for AC 230-400 V, 50/60 Hz installations, in the spirit of EN 61009Compatible with AC 230 to 400 V networks and 50/60 Hz frequencies, this miniature RCBO integrates easily into a distribution board, a control cabinet or as incoming protection for a piece of equipment. Its design follows the approach of EN 61009 (devices combining residual current protection and overcurrent protection), making it a relevant solution for environments where people’s safety and continuity of service are required, particularly where conditions favour insulation faults (humidity, ageing cables, equipment with a metal enclosure).Note: as the residual current tripping threshold (e.g. 30 mA, 100 mA, etc.) is not specified here, reference should be made to the rating plate or product instructions for a choice compliant with the intended use.---
