FAQs
What does 'B Curve' mean?
The B curve indicates the tripping characteristics of the RCBO. B curve devices trip faster on overcurrents compared to C curve devices and are typically used for resistive loads and circuits with low inrush currents.
What is the meaning of Type A?
Type A RCBOs can detect AC and pulsating DC components, offering better protection than AC-only devices.
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.
What is the IP rating of the FuseBox RCBO?
The IP rating is IP20, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but has no protection against water. It must be installed inside an enclosure.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product documentation or contact the manufacturer for warranty information.
Can I use this RCBO in a three-phase system?
No, this RCBO is designed for single-phase systems.
What is the maximum cable size that can be used?
The maximum cable size is 25mm².
