• Operating and nominal voltage: 230/400 V (suitable for common 3-phase power systems)
  
• Residual current protection: Type S/A (ÖVE E 8601) – enables selective disconnection in the event of fault currents and ensures targeted fault rectification.
  
• Pulse current sensitive: The residual current device (RCD) reacts to pulsating fault currents , which can occur particularly in modern devices such as inverters and LED technology .
  
• Surge current resistance: The switch is surge current resistant up to 5 kA , which makes it particularly resistant to voltage spikes.
  
• Installation dimensions: Cap installation dimension 45 mm for easy integration into control cabinets and distribution boxes
  
• Installation width: 4 TE (70 mm) – compact design for installation in standard distribution boards
  
• Mounting: DIN rail mounting for quick and flexible installation
• Clamping cross-section:
  • Solid wire: 1.5–35 mm²
    
  • Multi-stranded: 2 x 16 mm²
    
  
  

Key features and benefits:

1. Selective disconnection: The Eaton Type S/A residual current circuit breaker enables selective disconnection in the event of a fault. This means that in the event of a fault current, only the affected area is disconnected from the power grid, while other parts of the installation remain operational. This is particularly advantageous in larger installations to minimize downtime.
   
2. High short-circuit withstand capability: With a rated short-circuit withstand capability of 500 A , the switch is particularly robust against short-circuit faults and thus contributes to the long-term safety and reliability of your electrical systems.
   
3. Pulse current sensitive technology: This residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) is pulse current sensitive and detects not only classic AC fault currents but also pulsating fault currents. This technology is particularly important for protecting devices that generate such currents, such as inverters in solar power systems or LED lights .
   
4. Surge current resistance: The Eaton residual current circuit breaker is surge current resistant up to 5 kA , which makes it particularly resistant to voltage spikes that can occur, for example, due to lightning strikes or sudden load changes.
   
5. Compact design: With a cap installation dimension of only 45 mm and an installation width of 4 TE (70 mm), this residual current circuit breaker can be easily integrated into standardized control cabinets and distribution boards , making it particularly versatile.
   
6. Easy installation: The residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) is mounted on a DIN rail , enabling quick and easy installation in electrical distribution boards. The terminal cross-section for wiring is also flexible, supporting solid cables from 1.5 to 35 mm² and stranded cables up to 2 x 16 mm² .
   

Areas of application:

• Residential buildings: The Eaton residual current circuit breaker is perfectly suited for protecting residential buildings to ensure a reliable and safe power supply and to avoid hazards from fault currents.
  
• Commercial and industrial buildings: In offices , workshops , shops or other commercial installations, the switch ensures safe protection and selective fault clearance, thereby minimizing downtime.
  
• Industry: Ideal for protecting 3-phase industrial plants where high demands are placed on safety and residual current protection.
