• Operating and nominal voltage: 230/400 V (for 3-phase AC systems)
  
• Residual current protection: Type S/A (ÖVE E 8601) – enables selective disconnection in the event of residual currents, ideal for larger installations
  
• Pulse current sensitive: The switch detects pulsating fault currents , which can occur particularly in modern devices such as inverters and LED technologies.
  
• Surge current resistance: The switch is surge current resistant up to 5 kA , which makes it particularly robust against voltage spikes.
  
• Installation dimension: Cap installation dimension 45 mm for installation in control cabinets and distribution boxes
  
• Installation width: 4 TE (70 mm), so the switch can be easily integrated into standard distribution boards.
  
• Mounting: DIN rail mounting for easy and quick installation in electrical systems
  
• Clamping cross-section:
  • Solid wire: 1.5–35 mm²
    
  • Multi-stranded: 2 x 16 mm²
    
  
  

Key features and benefits:

1. Selective tripping: The Eaton Type S/A residual current circuit breaker ensures selective tripping in the event of a fault. This means that in the event of a fault current, only the affected circuit is disconnected, allowing other parts of the electrical system to remain operational. This minimizes downtime and increases operational efficiency.
   
2. High short-circuit withstand capability: The switch offers a rated short-circuit withstand capability of 500 A , making it particularly resistant to short-circuit events. This ensures reliable protection against current spikes and increases the safety of your installation.
   
3. Pulse current sensitivity: The Eaton residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) detects not only classic AC residual currents , but also pulsating residual currents, which can occur, for example, in modern photovoltaic systems , inverters , or LED lighting systems . This makes the breaker particularly suitable for demanding applications with modern technologies.
   
4. Surge current resistance: The switch is surge current resistant up to 5 kA , which makes it particularly robust against voltage spikes that can be caused by lightning strikes or other electrical disturbances.
   
5. Easy installation: The Eaton residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) can be easily mounted on a DIN rail . With a mounting dimension of only 45 mm and a mounting width of 4 modules (70 mm), it fits into standard distribution boards and allows for quick integration into your electrical installations.
   
6. Versatile clamping cross-section: The clamping cross-section of the Eaton residual current circuit breaker supports 1.5-35 mm² solid and 2 x 16 mm² stranded cables, making it very flexible and versatile in its application.
   

Areas of application:

• Residential buildings: Ideal for residual current protection in residential buildings to ensure the safety of electrical installations and to avoid potential hazards from residual currents.
  
• Commercial and industrial buildings: Suitable for commercial buildings , offices , workshops and other applications where reliable residual current monitoring is required.
  
• Industry: The residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) is suitable for the protection of 3-phase industrial installations where high safety requirements are placed and pulsating fault currents can occur.
