Why Choose the IMO B6CR1N06-30-A Type A RCBO?
The IMO B6CR1N06-30-A is a compact Type A residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect single-phase electrical circuits against earth leakage, overloads and short circuits. Combining residual-current and overcurrent protection within one device helps simplify distribution-board layouts and reduce installation space.
This model features a C curve tripping characteristic, making it suitable for circuits with moderate starting currents, including control equipment, transformers, motors and certain lighting loads. Its Type A residual-current characteristic detects alternating sinusoidal residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents generated by many modern electronic devices.
With a 6 A rated current, 30 mA residual operating current and 6 kA short-circuit capacity, the B6CR1N06-30-A provides comprehensive protection for control, lighting and low-current final circuits in commercial, industrial and OEM electrical installations.
Key Advantages
- Combines earth leakage, overload and short-circuit protection in one device.
- Type A residual-current detection for AC and pulsating DC fault currents.
- C curve tripping characteristic accommodates moderate inrush currents.
- 30 mA sensitivity provides additional protection against electric shock.
- 6 kA short-circuit capacity for dependable fault interruption.
- Compact 18 mm single-module design saves distribution-board space.

Combined Protection for Modern Electrical Circuits
The IMO B6CR1N06-30-A continuously monitors both circuit current and residual leakage current. If an overload, short circuit or earth leakage fault occurs, the RCBO disconnects the protected circuit to help safeguard wiring, connected equipment and personnel.
Its Type A characteristic makes it suitable for circuits supplying equipment with electronic components, such as switched-mode power supplies, LED drivers, control systems and variable electronic loads. These devices can generate pulsating DC leakage currents that may not be adequately detected by a Type AC device.
The C curve characteristic provides additional tolerance for normal starting surges while maintaining effective overcurrent protection, making this model particularly useful in industrial control and automation applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control circuits.
- Automation and machinery control panels.
- Lighting and LED driver circuits.
- Small motors and transformers.
- Commercial electrical distribution boards.
- OEM equipment and machine building.
