Residual current circuit breakers

A residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) is a critical safety device that prevents electric shocks and protects property by automatically disconnecting the power supply when a leakage is detected. This device ensures a high level of protection against electric shocks and fires, making it an essential component of any modern electrical network.

Nowadays, combined residual current circuit breakers, or RCBOs, are popular. These devices combine two important functions – residual current protection and short circuit or overload protection. This saves space and enhances network safety. Combined breakers are most commonly used in new projects to optimize installations.

Frequently Asked Questions about Residual Current Circuit Breakers

What is a residual current circuit breaker, and how does it work?

A residual current circuit breaker is a safety device that automatically disconnects the power supply when it detects a small current leakage. It reacts faster than standard fuses, reducing the risk of electric shocks and fires.

How to install a residual current circuit breaker?

To install a residual current circuit breaker, contact a certified electrician. They will assess your electrical system and safely install the breaker, ensuring proper operation and optimal protection.

How to differentiate a residual current circuit breaker from a regular circuit breaker?

Residual current circuit breakers have a special "test" button that allows you to verify their functionality. This button is often marked with the letter "T." Regular circuit breakers do not have this feature.

Can residual current circuit breakers be used outdoors?

Yes, residual current circuit breakers are suitable for outdoor use, such as in gardens or garages, where there is a high risk of moisture and water exposure. However, special precautions must be taken to ensure proper protection against weather conditions during installation.

What are the advantages of a combined residual current circuit breaker?

A combined residual current circuit breaker integrates two functions – leakage protection and protection against short circuits and overloads. It is a space-saving solution that provides high safety, especially in modern electrical networks.
