Siemens RCBO, 13A Current Rating, 2P Poles, 30mA Trip Sensitivity, Type B, Sentron Range

Protect people and equipment from the effects of electrical faults with this RCBO from Siemens. The device safeguards against overload, short circuits and earth fault currents to improve workplace safety. A high surge current resistance of 1kA ensures safe and reliable operating at all times. Its instant tripping reaction means there's no delay of machinery shutdown in the event of a power abnormality. With a large and easily accessible wiring space, you can easily insert a conductor into the terminals. This RCBO is suitable to use in automated industrial applications.

• Clips onto a DIN rail for fast and tool-free mounting
• Compact size of 35.4 (L) x 90 (W) x 76.2mm (D) for maximum packing efficiency on a circuit board
• IP20-rated enclosure, so it's protected against touch and objects larger than 12mm
• Mechanical service life of 10,000 hours for consistent reliability throughout its extended lifecycle
• Halogen-free so emits no toxic gases if there's an electrical fire

An earth leakage occurs when there's an accidental break in a circuit. This is usually a result of wiring errors or someone unknowingly cutting through an electrical cable.
