RCBO residual current circuit breaker for DIN 35mm Taixi

The RCBO is an essential safety device designed to safeguard individuals and animals from electric shock. It operates by detecting differences between the phase and neutral currents, instantly disconnecting the circuit should a difference exceeding 30mA be detected.

Primarily, it is recommended for protecting wiring in areas prone to high moisture, such as bathrooms, garages, basements, and WC. While it can be utilized in dry living spaces, the use of an AFCI circuit breaker is advisable for areas with potential fire hazards.

AFCI Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter Overview

Unlike the RCBO, the AFCI employs a distinctive principle, continuously analyzing electrical waveforms to detect faults, promptly disconnecting the circuit upon detection. It serves as a more advanced and effective solution compared to the RCBO.

However, due to its specific functionality, it is not suitable for environments with high moisture content.

Should you require an alternative to the RCBO, the AFCI circuit breaker can be explored. More information on the AFCI alternative can be found at link to the product.
