Residual Current Circuit Breaker

Eaton’s premium range of residual current circuit breakers (RCCB) provide ultimate protection from trips and electrical leakage currents of up to 100 amps. Protect human life and vital equipment from dangerous current with a residual current circuit breaker to rapidly disconnect power when faults are detected. Discover the full portfolio below.

What is a residual current circuit breaker?

A residual current circuit breaker must be used in conjunction with a miniature circuit breaker (MCB). RCCBs are the safest device for protecting against earth currents and are utilised across an array of applications. They operate by quickly and automatically cutting off a power supply when unbalanced electric currents are detected. An unbalance may indicate a current leak, which can subsequently pose a significant risk to the circuit. On average, RCCBs can operate within 25 to 40 milliseconds after detecting a leak, making them the most reliable circuit breaker on the market.

RCCB applications

Residual current circuit breakers provide real-time protection against earth faults and leakage currents in high voltage commercial and industrial applications. The sensitivity of the device allows it to detect ratings that have exceeded its capabilities, and automatically disconnect the circuit.

RCCB rating

Eaton’s residual current circuit breakers are rated for use between 16 amps to 100 amps and are available in Type A, AC, B, B+ and Bqf, to protect against an array of currents.
