Key features and benefits:

1. Type G/A (ÖVE E 8601): This residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) offers a short-time delayed tripping capability for improved surge current withstand capability. This ensures reliable operation in environments subject to high switching currents and transient overvoltages.
   
2. Pulse current sensitive (Type A): Detects not only AC faults, but also pulsating DC fault currents, which are often caused by modern devices such as LEDs or variable frequency drives.
   
3. Impulse current resistance up to 3 kA: With an impulse current resistance of 3 kA, the switch is optimally protected against voltage spikes and short-term overvoltages.
   
4. High switching capacity: The switch has a fault breaking capacity of 500 A , making it suitable for applications with high loads or in industrial environments.
   
5. Flexible wiring: The residual current circuit breaker is suitable for single-wire cables with a cross-section of 1.5 to 35 mm² or multi-wire cables up to 2 x 16 mm², so it can be used in various installations.
   
6. Easy installation: The switch can be easily mounted on the DIN rail , which speeds up and simplifies installation. Its compact design with a mounting width of 4 modules allows for space-saving integration into distribution cabinets.
