P1RC2P40AC300 – RES.CURRENT DEV.2P 40A IDN 300MA TYPE AC
Lovato’s P1RC2P40AC300 residual current operated circuit breaker provides reliable AC residual current protection in a compact footprint.
Why Choose the P1RC2P40AC300?
Lovato’s P1RC2P40AC300 residual current operated circuit breaker provides reliable AC residual current protection in a compact footprint. This 2‑pole, 2‑module Type AC device is rated at 40 A with 300 mA I∆n, and conforms to IEC/EN/BS 61008-1. Built for DIN‑rail assemblies, it suits installations requiring assured disconnection under alternating residual current conditions.
Engineered for resilience, it offers Ui 400 V and Uimp 4 kV, with IP20 frontal protection. Efficient design limits power dissipation to 1.6 W per pole. It operates from −35 to +70 °C and up to 2000 m altitude, with terminals tightened to 1.8–2 Nm. Supplied in a 2‑module format, installation is straightforward within DIN assemblies.
