• Rated current: 40 A
• Rated residual current: 100 mA
• Sensitivity type: AC sensitive (Type AC)
• Switch-off behavior: Selective (time-delayed, prevents false triggering of downstream devices)
• Surge current resistance: Up to 5 kA – high resistance to overvoltages
• Rated short-circuit withstand capability: 10 kA – for demanding installation environments
• Nominal voltage: 230/240 V AC
• Mounting: DIN rail mounting (top hat rail, standard size)
• Area of ​​application: Residential and commercial buildings, industrial installations

Application areas

• Private households: Central residual current protection in main distribution boards with staggered tripping characteristics.
• Commercial installations: Protection of machines, systems and sub-distribution boards in complex power networks.
• Functional building: Ideal for multi-stage protection concepts to avoid false tripping in downstream circuits.

Key features and benefits

1. Selective tripping (Type S): The time-delayed tripping of the residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) enables perfect coordination with downstream devices and prevents unnecessary power outages.
2. High surge current resistance: 5 kA resistance to transient overvoltages such as lightning strikes or switching operations.
3. 100 mA rated residual current: Effective fire protection through early detection of dangerous fault currents.
4. AC sensitive (Type AC): Reliably protects against sinusoidal fault currents in standard installations.
5. Robust design: With 10 kA short-circuit withstand capability, suitable for use in demanding environments.
6. Easy installation: Compact design with DIN rail mounting for quick and secure installation in distribution cabinets.
