P1RB1NC40AC300 – RCBO 1P+N CURVE C 40A IDN 300MA TYPE AC
Lovato P1RB1NC40AC300 RCBO with 40 A rated current, C tripping curve, Type AC 300 mA residual current protection and 10 kA breaking capacity.
Why Choose the Lovato P1RB1NC40AC300 RCBO?
The Lovato P1RB1NC40AC300 is a compact residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) that provides combined protection against earth leakage, overloads and short circuits within a single modular device. Designed for modern electrical distribution systems, it offers dependable protection while reducing the number of separate protection devices required in the installation.
Featuring a 40 A rated current, C tripping curve and 300 mA Type AC residual current sensitivity, this RCBO is ideally suited to applications where equipment protection and fire prevention are the primary objectives. Type AC protection detects sinusoidal alternating residual currents typically produced by conventional AC loads.
With its 1P+N configuration, 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and compact two-module DIN rail design, the P1RB1NC40AC300 is suitable for residential, commercial and industrial installations requiring reliable circuit protection. It is manufactured in accordance with IEC/EN 61009-1 for dependable long-term performance.
