P1RB1NC16A300 – RCBO 1P+N CURVE C 16A IDN 300MA TYPE A
Lovato P1RB1NC16A300 residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection, featuring a 1P+N configuration, 16 A rated current, C tripping characteristic, Type A 300 mA residual current protection and 10 kA breaking capacity.
Why Choose the Lovato P1RB1NC16A300 RCBO?
The Lovato P1RB1NC16A300 is a compact and reliable residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults. Part of the Lovato Electric P1RB series, it combines overcurrent and residual current protection within one modular device.
By combining the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and residual current device, the P1RB1NC16A300 simplifies electrical panel design and helps conserve valuable DIN rail space. Its 1P+N configuration provides simultaneous switching of the phase and neutral conductors, making it suitable for single-phase electrical distribution systems.
With a rated current of 16 A, a C tripping characteristic, Type A residual current detection and a rated residual operating current of 300 mA, this RCBO is suitable for equipment, circuit and fire-risk protection applications. Its robust 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity supports dependable operation in commercial and industrial electrical installations.
Key Advantages
- Combined protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults.
- 16 A rated current for single-phase electrical circuits.
- C tripping characteristic suitable for loads with moderate starting currents.
- Type A residual current protection detects AC and pulsating DC leakage currents.
- 300 mA residual operating current for equipment and fire-risk protection.
- 10 kA breaking capacity for reliable fault interruption.
- Compact two-module DIN rail design.

Reliable Combined Circuit Protection
The Lovato P1RB1NC16A300 combines thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection with residual current monitoring. It disconnects the protected circuit when an overload, short circuit or qualifying earth leakage fault is detected, helping protect wiring, connected equipment and the wider installation.
Its Type A characteristic enables the RCBO to detect sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. The 300 mA sensitivity is generally selected for equipment protection, insulation fault monitoring and reducing fire risks rather than additional personal protection.
Typical Applications
- Commercial electrical distribution boards.
- Industrial power distribution systems.
- Machinery and automation control panels.
- Equipment feeder circuits.
- Lighting and general power circuits.
- Circuits requiring combined overcurrent and earth leakage protection.
