Product Overview

The LIVE Electrical RKB116C-030 Type B RCBO is a compact, single-module residual current breaker with overcurrent protection, designed to provide enhanced circuit protection in modern electrical installations. It protects against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults, while supporting applications that generate complex electrical waveforms.

This Type B RCBO is engineered to detect AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC residual currents, ensuring reliable protection where standard Type A devices may be insufficient. Its bi-directional power flow capability makes it particularly suitable for renewable energy systems and advanced power electronics.

Featuring a C-curve tripping characteristic, this RCBO is ideal for circuits with higher inrush currents such as EV chargers, solar PV inverters, heat pumps and other inductive loads. Rated at 16A with a 30mA residual current sensitivity and a 6kA breaking capacity, it delivers dependable and compliant protection.
