Single Pole Bi-Directional A Type 6KA B Curve RCBO

A compact, high-performance RCBO designed for modern electrical installations requiring combined protection against overcurrent, short-circuit, and earth leakage. The Whitecliffe RCBO's are engineered for reliability and ease of installation, making it an ideal choice for safeguarding individual circuits in domestic and commercial properties.

Key Features & Technical Specifications:

Type A Residual Current Protection: Provides protection for circuits supplying equipment where pulsating DC fault currents may be present, such as those with EV chargers, PV inverters, VSDs, and modern appliances with switching-mode power supplies. This makes it compliant with the latest 18th Edition Amendment 2 recommendations.

6kA Breaking Capacity: Offers a high level of short-circuit protection, suitable for most domestic and light commercial applications.

Bi-Directional Operation: Can be fed from either the top or bottom, providing ultimate flexibility during installation and helping to maintain a neat and logical board layout.

Compact 1-Module Width: Saves crucial space within the consumer unit, allowing for more circuits in a compact enclosure and simplifying compliance with SPD and other device integration.

Clear Visual Indication: Features a flag indicator to clearly distinguish between a fault (red) and a loss of neutral (green), enabling faster diagnostics and fault-finding.

Easy Wiring & Seating: Designed for a secure snap-on fit to a standard 35mm DIN rail. The terminals are designed for easy access and secure conductor connection.

Why Choose This RCBO for Your Job?

Future-Proofs Your Install: Specifying Type A RCBOs is considered best practice and is essential for circuits feeding an increasing number of electronic loads, ensuring full compliance and safety.

Saves Installation Time: The bi-directional feed and compact, single-module design significantly reduce wiring time and complexity, especially in tight consumer units.

Enhanced Diagnostics: The clear fault flag allows for rapid identification of the issue, reducing call-back times and improving customer satisfaction.

Proven Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with Whitecliffe consumer units and is compatible with other major brands that follow standard form factors.
