Miniature RCBO 2P 16A C 6kA EN61009

1) 2-in-1 protection for enhanced electrical safetyThis 2P 16 A miniature RCBO combines in a single device protection against overcurrents (overload and short-circuit) and residual current protection against current leakage. It is suitable for everyday uses in a home, commercial premises, sub-distribution board or small control box. In the event of an overload or short-circuit, it trips automatically to protect the cables and limit the risk of overheating. If it detects an earth leakage caused by ageing insulation, moisture, a faulty device or indirect contact, it cuts off the power supply quickly and helps reduce the risk of electric shock and fires of electrical origin. A practical solution for complete protection without multiplying modules in the board.2) 2P format: clear disconnection of live and neutralThe 2-pole (2P) configuration is suited to single-phase circuits. It allows simultaneous disconnection of the live and neutral, for clearer isolation of the circuit during tripping or intervention. This miniature format integrates easily into a standard modular board. The two functions, circuit breaker and residual current protection, are combined to simplify board design and make the protection easier to read.3) 16 A rating: ideal for common circuitsThe 16 A rated current is suitable for common circuits: standard sockets, lighting, small appliances and moderate-power equipment. It offers a good compromise between supply capacity and protection, provided the circuit sizing is respected (conductor cross-section, line length, type of load). For more demanding uses, check the actual current and adapt the protection and wiring.4) C curve + 6 kA breaking capacityThe C tripping curve better accommodates inrush currents (small motors, ventilation, pumps, power supplies with transformer) while effectively protecting against overcurrents. It limits nuisance tripping at start-up without compromising safety. The 6 kA breaking capacity provides a safety margin against short-circuit and is suitable for the majority of residential and small commercial installations, according to the short-circuit study.5) Compliance and network compatibility: AC 230-400 V, 50/60 Hz, EN 61009Designed for AC 230-400 V, 50/60 Hz networks. Complies with EN 61009 (RCBO with overcurrent protection). Installation recommended by a qualified electrician, with correct tightening and compliance with wiring rules. In the event of repeated tripping, look for the cause (overload, insulation fault, faulty device, moisture, loose connection) rather than increasing the rating.
