All You Need to Know about Contactum RCBO

 


A Contactum RCBO has a current rating of 6A. Its single pole design protects circuits from overcurrent. It also offers protection against earth leakage. This device is compatible with consumer units made of non-combustible materials. For safety and security, RCBOs are designed with an earth leakage protection feature. Contactum RCBOs are widely used in a wide range of applications

RCBO is a combination of an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker and a Residual Current Circuit Breaker

A Contactum RCBO is a type of electrical circuit breaker that protects against both overloads and earth leakages. They operate according to Kirchhoff's principle, which states that the incoming and outgoing currents should be equal. This type of breaker detects a fault by comparing the currents of the live and neutral wires. When a fault is detected, the difference between these two wires decreases. The Contactum RCBO is available in two types: residual current and earth leakage circuit breakers. An RCBO protects a single circuit, whereas an RCD protects several circuits. In the event of a fault, the RCD trips and cuts power to all protected circuits. Despite their differences, an RCBO's price tag may make them a better choice if cost is not an issue.

A combined earth leakage circuit breaker and a retained current circuit breaker, the Contactum RCBO is an excellent way to protect your installation. They are inexpensive, effective, and designed to meet industry requirements. In addition to their low price and ability to protect installations, an RCBO is usually adjustable in the residual current threshold. The tripping delay can also be adjusted between different circuit breakers. The RCBO is an excellent choice for residential and commercial applications. Its dual functions eliminate the need for separate circuit breakers and fuses and can be installed in a short period. It also provides discriminating residual current protection. An RCBO also allows you to set it up in a flashover fashion, and it can be programmed to reset itself when a circuit breaker is tripped.

It Protects Circuits against Overload and Earth Leakage

RCBOs protect circuits against two types of electrical faults - overload and earth leakage. An overload occurs when there is excessive demand on the circuit due to multiple devices. An earth leakage occurs when an accident breaks the circuit, resulting in an electrical shock and possible damage. This type of protection is critical in the event of an electrical accident. Contactum RCBOs protect circuits against overload and earth leakage by detecting a fault before it can cause serious damage to equipment and property. RCBOs are an excellent choice for many electrical installations. They can protect any circuit from overload and earth leakage and are not overly expensive. These circuit breakers are available in all sizes, including outdoor versions. Hager, for example, offers a range of high-quality larger units. They also offer an extensive range of circuit protection options, making them an excellent choice for both small and large properties. RCBOs come in single and double pole versions and are certified to BS EN 61009. The CCPBR0620AB is a 20A single-pole RCBO that protects circuits against overload and earth leak. It can be used with Nylon, Hager, or Defender consumer units. The RCBO is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

It Accepts Power Input from Either End

A compact mini-CU that accepts power input from both ends is called a Compact Mini CU. However, not all CUs can accept power from both ends. A Contactum RCBO is not an option since it cannot handle tripped RCDs which could damage the inverter. This can result in a breakdown of the PV system. Moreover, a Contactum RCBO cannot accept power from both ends.

It is Compatible with Consumer Units Made from Non-Combustible Materials

A Contactum RCBO is compatible with a consumer unit made of non-combustible materials. The Contactum consumer unit is constructed of robust and sturdy materials that are very easy to install. It also looks better than many of its competitors. The new consumer units are also compatible with older consumer units, so replacing an old one is not a problem. Contactum also makes a range of metal consumer units.

A consumer unit, also known as a fuse board, is an important part of the building infrastructure. It protects electrical appliances and people from electric shock. Its configuration and design vary depending on the installation. It is recommended to use an RCBO that is compatible with consumer units made from non-combustible materials. Choosing the right RCBO can make a difference between safety and damage.
