Rcbos In Series. Yes and i have looked it up. Current flowing where it shouldn t switching the circuit off where there is an earth fault current.
An rcd detects earth leakage i e. Residual current circuit breaker with over current protection rcbos the range designed to ensure efficiency and protection rcbos are commonly used in applications where there is the need to combine protection against overcurrents overload and short circuit and protection against earth leakage currents. Current flowing where it shouldn t switching the circuit off where there is an earth fault current.
A look at a typical rcbo and how it is connected in a consumer unit.
The current hager single pole rcbos fit in place of ge but obviously will not be type tested with ge boards so is not an approved replacement. Rcbos will typically have separate circuits for detecting current imbalance and for overload current but use a common interrupting mechanism. An rcd detects earth leakage i e. The current hager single pole rcbos fit in place of ge but obviously will not be type tested with ge boards so is not an approved replacement.
