RCBO 1P+N 50A C curve 6kA EN61009

1) Combined 2-in-1 protection for enhanced everyday safetyThis miniature circuit breaker with integrated residual current protection (RCBO) combines, in a single module, protection against overloads and short circuits (circuit breaker function) and protection against insulation faults/current leakage (residual current function). It cuts the power supply more quickly in the event of a fault that could cause electric shock or an electrical fire, while maintaining effective protection of conductors and equipment in the event of overcurrent. A popular solution in homes and small commercial premises for equipping an outgoing circuit from a distribution board with more comprehensive protection, without multiplying devices (space saving, simpler wiring, better board readability).2) 1P+N format: suitable for common single-phase circuits (live + neutral)The 1P+N configuration means that the device manages a single-phase circuit with control/protection of the live and disconnection of the neutral. It corresponds to many uses in homes and commercial premises: socket circuits, circuits dedicated to certain equipment, specific outgoing circuits in a sub-distribution board. Installed in an electrical panel, distribution enclosure or control cabinet, this format makes integration on a DIN rail easier and ensures clearer isolation when tripped. It is suitable when you want to isolate a faulty circuit quickly while keeping the rest of the installation in service.3) Key electrical characteristics: C50A, 50-60 Hz, breaking capacity 6 kARated current 50 A (C50): intended for outgoing circuits capable of carrying a significant current, subject to consistent sizing of cables, upstream protection and actual use. The C curve better tolerates certain inrush currents at start-up than a more sensitive curve, while ensuring rapid disconnection in the event of a short circuit. The 6 kA breaking capacity corresponds to a common level for domestic boards and light commercial applications. 50-60 Hz compatibility for better adaptability depending on the networks. Indicated voltage: AC 2230 V-400 V (according to data provided, to be checked according to the installation and local practices).4) Recommended uses: homes, small shops, offices, higher-risk areasA relevant choice for circuits where you want to reduce the risk in the event of an insulation fault: kitchen, bathroom, utility room, basement, workshop, or circuits supplying appliances with a metal casing. Also suitable for socket and lighting circuits, or dedicated outgoing circuits (e.g. water heater, specific equipment), subject to correct selection of the rating and cross-sections. In a small shop or office, it protects a sensitive outgoing circuit without immobilising the entire board in the event of a fault, improving service continuity and making troubleshooting easier.5) Compliance and installation advice: EN 61009, compliant wiring, installation by a professionalDesigned in accordance with EN 61009, this device forms part of a protection approach compliant with European requirements. The effectiveness of the residual current protection depends on the quality of the installation: compliance with live/neutral connection, correct separation of neutrals between circuits, continuity of earthing, tightening of terminals to the recommended torque, verification of the suitability between the 50 A rating, conductor cross-section and actual use (a rating that is too high can delay overload protection of a line that is undersized). Installation must be carried out by a qualified person, with periodic checks recommended (test function if present depending on version). This 1P+N RCBO, C curve, 50 A, 6 kA provides complete and practical protection for everyday electrical outgoing circuits.
