Eaton xPole Home HNA-1P-C16/30/1N/003A-WW combination residual current circuit breaker RCBO, 1P, 16 A, 30 mA, characteristic C, type A, 230 V AC, 6 kA

The Eaton xPole Home HNA-1P-C16/30/1N/003A-WW combination residual current circuit breaker provides protection against electric shock and short circuits in single-phase circuits in residential and commercial installations. The device combines the functions of residual current and overcurrent protection in a single housing, reducing space in the switchboard and simplifying installation design

Rated at 16 A with a C tripping characteristic, it is suitable for typical outlet and lighting circuits.
Residual current sensitivity of 30 mA (type A) providing effective electric shock protection for AC and DC pulsating currents.
Short-circuit capacity of 6 kA, suitable for standard low-voltage installations in residential buildings.
Rated voltage 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz, for single-phase terminal circuits.
Compact DIN-rail design, compatible with Eaton's xPole Home modular apparatus system.
Applications in residential switchgear, small service facilities and retrofits of existing installations.

Application and protection functions

The Eaton xPole Home HNA-1P-C16/30/1N/003A-WW circuit breaker is designed to protect terminal circuits in 230 V AC single-phase installations, especially in residential buildings, apartments, single-family homes and small commercial premises. The device has a dual function: it detects differential currents that can cause human shock or fire in the installation, and also protects conductors from overloads and short circuits thanks to an overcurrent member with C characteristic. Type A provides sensitivity to sinusoidal AC differential currents and to pulsating DC currents, which is important for powering modern electronic consumers, switching power supplies and household appliances. Thanks to its compact design, the RCBO replaces the separate overcurrent circuit breaker and residual current circuit breaker, reducing the number of modules in the switchboard and simplifying wiring and installation design

Construction, installation and convenience of use

The apparatus is designed as a modular unit for mounting on a 35mm DIN rail in standard low-voltage switchgear. The housing is characterized by clear marking of electrical parameters on the front, facilitating identification in the switchboard. The connection terminals are suitable for copper wires of typical cross-sections used in 16 A installations, and the design of the terminals provides a secure connection and resistance to loosening of wires during expLoatation. The built-in lever allows to manually switch on and off the circuit, as well as to quickly disconnect the power supply during service or modernization work. The unit is compatible with the xPole Home modular apparatus system, enabling consistent installation, aesthetic layout in the switchgear and dimensional compatibility with other Eaton apparatus

Safety and compliance with standards

The HNA-1P-C16/30/1N/003A-WW combination residual current circuit breaker meets the requirements of applicable standards for low-voltage protective apparatus used in residential buildings. Short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA provides an adequate level of safety for typical short-circuit levels in domestic installations. The design of the apparatus is suitable for operation in standard climatic conditions of buildings, taking into account typical ranges of ambient temperature and humidity corresponding to indoor applications. The manufacturer stipulates the use of the device in terminal circuits with power adapted to the rated current of 16 A, with properly selected cross-section of wires and coordinated protection on the supply side. The use of this RCBO increases the level of safety of installation users and reduces the risk of damage to the installation and connected consumers

FAQ (customer)

Q: Is this device suitable for a typical home socket circuit?
A: Yes, the 16 A rating with C characteristic and 30 mA RCD sensitivity is suitable for standard single-phase socket and mixed circuits in residential installations, provided the wiring is correctly sized.
Q: Can I use this RCBO in a 3-phase installation?
A: This specific model is designed for single-phase 230 V AC circuits; for 3-phase installations you need corresponding multi-pole devices.
Q: Do I still need a separate RCD if I install this product?
A: No, this RCBO combines overcurrent and residual current protection in one device, eliminating the need for a separate RCD for that particular circuit.
Q: Is it compatible with standard DIN rail consumer units?
A: Yes, it is designed for mounting on 35 mm DIN rail and fits regular modular consumer units used in Europe.
Q: What type of loads can I connect to this breaker?
A: It can suppLy typical household loads such as sockets, lighting, small appLiances, and electronic equipment within the 16 A limit and appropriate wiring.
Q: Does it protect against electric shock?
A: Yes, the 30 mA residual current protection offers enhanced protection against indirect contact and reduces the risk of electric shock.

FAQ (expert)

Q: What type of residual current does the A-type module detect?
A: It detects sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents, which is suitable for many modern loads with single-phase power electronics.
Q: What is the rated short-circuit capacity of this RCBO?
A: The device has a 6 kA breaking capacity, appropriate for typical domestic and small commercial installations with coordinated upstream protection.
Q: Can this RCBO be used as the main incomer protection?
A: It is primarily intended for final circuits; main incomer protection usually requires appropriately rated main breakers and often selective RCDs depending on system design.
Q: Is there any selectivity or coordination information for upstream MCBs or fuses?
A: Coordination should follow Eaton’s coordination tables and local standards, ensuring the upstream device has an equal or higher breaking capacity and suitable time-current characteristics.
Q: What ambient temperature range should be considered for rating adjustments?
A: Standard rating assumes typical indoor ambient conditions; for elevated temperatures, appLy general derating guidelines provided in Eaton technical documentation for modular protection devices.
Q: Are there accessories like phase busbars compatible with this series?
A: Yes, Eaton modular devices in the xPole Home system are generally compatible with standard phase busbars designed for that system; selection depends on pole configuration and number of devices.
