Easy9 - RCBO type 1P+N isolating switch, 6 kA, 30 mA, 3 A, characteristic C
Easy9 RCBO is a compact device that combines the functions of an overcurrent circuit breaker and a residual current circuit breaker, providing wire protection and protection against electric shock. It is designed for use in residential and small commercial installations where safety, space saving and ease of installation are important.
- Combination of overcurrent and residual current protection in a single apparatus
- Breaking capacity of 6 kA suitable for typical low-voltage installations
- Differential current of 30 mA for effective protection against electric shock
- Tripping characteristic C for circuits with inrush currents (motors, transformers)
- Compact DIN rail modular housing
- Rated current of 3 A - ideal for precise protection of small circuits
Application and protection functions
The RCBO Easy9 type isolating switch combines overcurrent (short-circuit and overload) protection with 30 mA sensitivity residual current protection in a single housing, so it is designed to protect final circuits from installation damage and from electric shock. The C characteristic allows safe operation in circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as small motor drives, switching power supplies or electronic devices. The apparatus is suitable for installation in residential and small commercial switchboards, providing effective protection for outlets, lighting and dedicated equipment circuits.
Construction and mounting
The device has a modular design and is suitable for mounting on a standard DIN rail in low-voltage switchboards. It occupies a small modular width, which saves space and allows easy integration with other Easy9 apparatus. The connection terminals accommodate conductors of suitable cross-sections, ensuring a secure and durable electrical connection. The housing is made of insulating plastic resistant to high temperatures and electric arcs, which increases the safety of use. Clearly marked lever allows quick switching on and off the circuit and visual inspection of the status of the apparatus.
Safety expLoatation and normative compliance
The RCBO Easy9 meets the requirements of standards for overcurrent and residual current circuit breakers for household and similar use, ensuring proper selective tripping in the event of short circuits, overloads and leakage currents to earth. The rated residual current of 30 mA is suitable for protecting people from the effects of indirect and direct contact, and the short-circuit capacity of 6 kA guarantees effective shutdown of typical short-circuit currents in low-voltage installations. The device is designed to minimize the risk of misconnection, and its parameters allow it to work with other components of the power distribution system.
