How often should I test the RCBO?

Test the RCBO monthly using the test button.

What type of earth fault protection does this RCBO offer?

Type A protection, which detects pulsating DC earth faults.

Can I install an RCBO myself?

No, installation should be done by a qualified electrician.

What happens if the RCBO trips?

The circuit will be disconnected. Identify the cause of the trip and resolve it before resetting the RCBO.

What does the 20A rating mean?

It indicates the maximum current the RCBO can handle continuously. It should match the circuit's current requirements.

What standards does this RCBO meet?

It meets BS EN 61009-1 and BS IEC 1009-2-2.

Troubleshooting

RCBO trips frequently

Identify and rectify the fault causing the trip (e.g., faulty appliance, damaged wiring). If no obvious fault is found, consult an electrician as the RCBO may be faulty or incorrectly rated for the load.
