Why Choose the Lovato P1RE1NC16A300 RCBO?
The Lovato P1RE1NC16A300 is a compact and reliable residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to provide combined protection against overloads, short circuits and residual earth leakage currents in low-voltage electrical installations. As part of the Lovato P1RE series, it combines miniature circuit breaker and residual current protection functions within a single DIN rail mounted device.
Featuring a 1P+N configuration, 16 A rated current, C tripping curve and 300 mA rated residual current, the P1RE1NC16A300 provides comprehensive circuit protection while reducing the number of separate protective devices required in a distribution board. Its Type A residual current characteristic enables detection of sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents.
Designed for use in electrical distribution and control systems, this RCBO is suitable for circuits where both overcurrent and earth leakage protection are required. Its modular construction enables straightforward installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, making it well suited to industrial, commercial and general electrical distribution applications.

Combined Residual Current and Overcurrent Protection
RCBOs combine the protective functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual current device in one modular component. The Lovato P1RE1NC16A300 therefore protects its connected circuit against overload and short-circuit conditions while also detecting residual currents caused by insulation faults or leakage to earth.
The Type A characteristic provides sensitivity to sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, while the C-curve overcurrent characteristic accommodates moderate starting currents associated with many electrical loads. This combination makes the P1RE1NC16A300 a practical protective device for modern low-voltage distribution and control systems.
Typical Applications
- Low-voltage electrical distribution boards.
- Industrial control panels and machinery circuits.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Branch circuits requiring combined overcurrent and residual current protection.
- Circuits with moderate starting or inrush currents.
- DIN rail mounted electrical protection systems.
