eveloped in response to growing market demand, the new 10kA 3 Pole + Switched Neutral Bi-Directional RCBOs are supplied with a one metre Neutral fly lead, and are available in a wide range of current ratings from 6A to 63A. Products are offered in both B Curve and C Curve variants, each featuring Type A 30mA protection. This ensures suitability across a broad spectrum of commercial and industrial applications where additional protection may be required.
Regulation 411.3.3 sets out the requirements for socket-outlets up to 32A to incorporate additional protection when being used by ordinary persons. While many installations use SWA cables in this environment - which typically do not require additional protection - the regulation is clear that additional protection is required for socket-outlets up to 32A. Installers often install an RCD closer to the socket. This
