RCBO 1P+N C20A curve C 6kA EN61009

3-in-1 protection for your 230 V circuits: overload, short-circuit and insulation fault (earth leakage)This 1P+N C-curve 20 A RCBO combines magnetic-thermal protection in a single device (against prolonged overloads that heat up conductors and can damage the installation) and residual current protection (monitoring leakage currents linked to degraded insulation, moisture or a faulty device). In the event of an overload, it opens the circuit to prevent cables from overheating; in the event of a short-circuit, it trips very quickly in order to limit fault energy and the impact on equipment; and in the event of leakage, it cuts off the power supply to reduce the risks of electric shock and electrically caused fire. It is a practical solution when you want to secure an outgoing circuit at the distribution board without multiplying modules and without making the installation more complex.1P+N format: ideal for single-phase outgoing circuits in homes and small commercial premisesThe 1P+N configuration (phase + neutral) matches the most common needs in homes and small shops: a living room socket line, a dedicated kitchen line, a utility room socket, an office, lighting + sockets in a small room, etc. Managing the phase and neutral in the same device makes the distribution board easier to organise and provides clearer outgoing circuit protection. This type of RCBO is particularly appreciated when refurbishing a distribution board or replacing equipment, when you want to protect a specific circuit (for example a damp area, a heavily used group of sockets or a line that trips regularly) while keeping a simple and tidy architecture.C-curve 20 A: a good compromise between stability and responsiveness, suitable for loads with inrush currentThe C20 rating is commonly used for socket circuits or intermediate uses (depending on conductor cross-section, line length and load calculation). The C curve is designed to withstand higher inrush currents than the B curve, which limits nuisance tripping when certain appliances start up: household appliances, equipment with motor/compressor, small tools, etc. You therefore get better continuity of service on a daily basis, while still retaining rapid disconnection in the event of a clear fault. For the correct choice, it remains essential to match the rating to the cable cross-section and the power actually used on the outgoing circuit.6 kA breaking capacity and EN 61009 compliance: a solid basis for a “compliant” distribution boardWith a 6 kA breaking capacity, the device is sized to withstand and safely interrupt short-circuit currents typical of residential installations and many small commercial environments. The reference to the EN 61009 standard (residual current protection devices with overcurrent protection) makes integration easier in a “compliant product” approach during refurbishment, circuit addition or distribution board upgrade. It operates on AC 50-60 Hz networks and covers a stated voltage range of AC 2230-400 V (to be checked according to your network and installation diagram). These elements help with objective comparison against other modules (rating, curve, breaking capacity, standard) without relying on less relevant criteria such as a theoretical “power”.Recommended use: socket circuits, kitchen, damp areas, offices — installation by an electrician and inspection after fittingThis RCBO is particularly useful for circuits where you want to combine ease of use and an increased level of safety: living area sockets (living room/bedrooms), kitchen (multiple appliances), utility room/balcony, near the bathroom (risk of moisture), or outgoing circuits in a small shop/office (PCs, printers, lighting and sockets). For installation in line with European practices, it is recommended that connection is carried out by a qualified person, with tightening to the appropriate torque, clear identification on the distribution board, and an operational test after installation. In the event of repeated tripping, the safest approach is to look for the cause (overload, faulty appliance, damaged cable, moisture, poor tightening) rather than increasing the rating.Important note: the rated residual current (e.g. 30 mA/100 mA) and the residual current type (AC/A, etc.) are not provided in your data; as this information is decisive for certain applications, it is advisable to confirm it before purchase if your specification requires it.
