Personal protection intermediate circuit breaker with 2-pole disconnection (suitable for outdoor use, IP66).

Description

The personal protection -intermediate circuit breaker is dust and jet water protected thanks to its IP66 protection class, making it perfect for outdoor use. It serves to protect against dangerous electric shocks. Thanks to the intermediate circuit breaker, residual currents are immediately detected and disconnected from the mains at lightning speed. The residual current circuit breaker with two-pole disconnection also convinces with the following features:

• Suitable for 3G0.75², up to 3G2.5², cable.
• Voltage: 250 V
• Max. Current carrying capacity: 16 A
• For installation between device and power connection

RCD personal protection switch

A residual current circuit breaker (RCD) is an electrical protective device used primarily to protect against electric shocks. The RCD detects the difference between the incoming and outgoing current in a circuit. If a fault current occurs, for example due to an insulation fault or a current flow via an unwanted discharge such as a person, the RCD switches off the circuit. This significantly reduces the risk of electric shock or fire caused by a fault current. When used as personal protection, a residual current device must trip and interrupt the circuit at a residual current of 30mA at the latest.
