FAQs

What does the Type A designation mean?

Type A means the RCCB can detect residual sinusoidal AC currents and pulsating DC currents, offering better protection for modern electronics.

Can I install this myself?

No, this device must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with electrical safety codes and regulations.

Does this provide short-circuit protection?

This device is primarily an RCCB for residual current protection. While it has a high breaking capacity, it should be paired with a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) for complete overcurrent protection.

What is the weight and size of the unit?

The unit weighs 204g and measures 90mm (H) x 36mm (W) x 70mm (D).

How often should I test the device?

It is recommended to use the test button at least every six months to verify the mechanical functionality of the trip mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Device trips unexpectedly

Check the downstream circuit for insulation faults, moisture ingress, or faulty appliances. Ensure the total leakage current of the circuit does not exceed the 30mA threshold.

Test button does not trip the circuit

Verify that power is being supplied to the device at the rated 230V. If powered and still not tripping, the internal mechanism is faulty and the unit must be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High safety standards with VDE, IMQ, and OVE certifications
  • Easy installation and removal without specialized tools
  • Space-efficient 2-module width
  • Integrated QR/Data Matrix for instant documentation access
  • Compatible with the wider SENTRON accessory ecosystem

Cons

  • Requires professional electrical installation
  • Limited to 16A circuits
  • Requires proper DIN rail clearance within the distribution board

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with local wiring regulations. The device is designed to snap onto a standard 35mm DIN rail.

  1. Ensure power is completely disconnected at the main supply before attempting installation.
  2. Align the device on the DIN rail and use the slide-hand mechanism to secure it in place.
  3. Verify wire terminations are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
  4. To remove, simply slide the release mechanism to disengage the lock.

Regular care includes periodic testing using the integrated test button to ensure the internal tripping mechanism is functional. Check the device surface for signs of overheating or physical debris during annual maintenance.
