GEN3 Double Pole Single Module RCBO 20Amp Safety Switch/Circuit Breaker Combo

Superior Electrical Safety with the GEN3 Double Pole Single Module RCBO 20A Safety Switch

Upgrading your electrical system requires components that deliver uncompromising safety and efficiency. The GEN3 Double Pole Single Module RCBO 20A Safety Switch offers an advanced solution for modern electrical installations, combining residual current device (RCD) and miniature circuit breaker (MCB) functions into a single, highly compact unit. Engineered for both reliable overload protection and rapid earth leakage detection, this device is an essential component for residential, commercial, and mobile power systems.

The Critical Advantage of True Double Pole Disconnection

Many standard safety switches only disconnect the active conductor, leaving the neutral line connected. In environments like caravans, RVs, and motorhomes, this presents a severe risk due to the potential for reverse polarity from external power pedestals. The GEN3 Double Pole Single Module RCBO 20A Safety Switch features true double pole disconnection. This means it physically severs both the active and neutral conductors during a fault current condition or an overload. By completely isolating the circuit, it provides a crucial layer of safety, protecting personnel and sensitive equipment from dangerous electrical faults.

Maximise Your Switchboard Space

Traditional double pole safety switches require two standard DIN rail slots, consuming valuable real estate in your enclosure. This innovative double pole rcbo houses true double pole capabilities within a single 18mm wide module. This space-saving design effectively halves the required footprint, providing more room for wiring and allowing for smaller, neater switchboard installations. It is a highly practical choice for tight spaces often found in camper trailers, tiny homes, and compact off-grid setups.

Comprehensive Overload and Short Circuit Protection

Electrical overloads occur when too many appliances draw power simultaneously, while short circuits present an immediate spike in current. This double pole safety switch effectively mitigates both risks. Equipped with a robust 4.5kA breaking capacity, the MCB component swiftly interrupts dangerous fault currents, preventing thermal damage to wiring and connected devices. The C-Curve trip characteristic ensures the breaker tolerates brief inrush currents, typical when starting motor-driven appliances, without nuisance tripping.

Rapid Earth Leakage Detection

Personal safety relies heavily on the prompt detection of residual currents. The integrated RCD component of this rcbo switch features a highly sensitive 30mA trip threshold. In the event of an earth leakage fault, such as damaged wiring touching a conductive metal chassis, the unit detects the imbalance and isolates the circuit in milliseconds. This rapid response is vital for preventing serious electric shocks, making it an indispensable addition to any modern installation.

Featuring a 20A C-Curve characteristic, this unit provides robust protection for higher-draw power circuits, including dedicated air conditioning feeds or larger heating elements.
