FAQs
What is the purpose of an RCBO?
An RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent Protection) combines the functions of an RCD (protecting against earth leakage) and an MCB (protecting against overcurrents) into a single device.
What does the 6A rating mean?
The 6A rating indicates the maximum current the RCBO can handle continuously. It is suitable for circuits where the normal current draw does not exceed 6 amps.
What is a Type B curve?
A Type B curve indicates the RCBO's response to overcurrents, designed for applications with high inrush currents, like certain types of equipment. This ensures the device won't trip unnecessarily.
How often should I test the RCBO?
It is recommended to test the RCBO monthly using the test button to ensure it is functioning correctly.
Who should install this RCBO?
This RCBO must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations.
What should I do if the RCBO trips?
First, identify the cause of the trip by checking the connected devices and wiring for faults. Then, reset the RCBO if the cause is resolved.
Can I use this RCBO outdoors?
The Contactum RCBO is designed for indoor use. Avoid using it in environments exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the circuit is clear of faults, and the power supply is stable. Contact a qualified electrician if the issue persists.
Device appears to be damaged.
Discontinue use immediately and consult a qualified electrician to assess the damage and replace the RCBO.
