Line- and residual current protection

Eaton's high quality standard guarantees comprehensive personal- and equipment protection by combining the functionalities of a residual current circuit breaker with those of a miniature circuit breaker. Spend less time and effort wiring while still protecting the system against overload, short circuit and residual current. Using Eaton's line of RCBOs, your electrical system will increase in safety and reliability.

Suitable types for all contingencies

  • Type -A: Protects against special forms of residual pulsating DC which have not been smoothed.
  • Typ -G: 10 ms time delay in order to avoid unwanted tripping (e.g. during thunderstorms).
  • Type AC: This type only detects pure sinusoidal AC residual currents.
  • Type -F (PKNM): Increased protection in applications with 1-phase frequency converter due to the detection of mixed frequencies, higher load capacity with smooth DC fault currents up to 10 mA.

IEC Standard quality design

The RCBO line adheres to the IEC standard of IEC/EN 61009 – an IEC region as well as European standard for RCDs with integrated overcurrent protection (RCBOs). This applies to both the line voltage-independent and line voltage-dependent RCDs/MCBs with rated currents up to 125 A for fixed installations.

All requirements of IEC/EN 61009 are 100 % fulfilled by Eaton's RCBO line. All required standards are printed on the devices.
