Why Choose the IMO B6BRC1N16-30-A Type A RCBO?

The IMO B6BRC1N16-30-A is a compact Type A RCBO that combines residual-current protection with overload and short-circuit protection in a single DIN rail-mounted device. Designed for single-phase electrical circuits, it helps protect people, wiring and connected equipment while reducing the number of separate protective components required within a distribution board.

Type A residual-current detection enables the RCBO to respond to both alternating sinusoidal residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents. This makes it suitable for modern circuits containing electronic equipment, switched-mode power supplies, LED drivers, appliances and industrial control devices.

With a rated current of 16 A, a B curve tripping characteristic, 30 mA residual-current sensitivity and a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the B6BRC1N16-30-A provides comprehensive protection for final circuits in commercial, industrial and building-services installations.

Key Advantages

  • Combines residual-current, overload and short-circuit protection.
  • Type A residual-current detection for AC and pulsating DC fault currents.
  • 16 A rated current for common final-circuit applications.
  • 30 mA sensitivity provides additional protection against electric shock.
  • B curve operation suits circuits with low to moderate inrush current.
  • Compact DIN rail format helps save distribution-board space.

Key Features

  • IMO B6 series RCBO.
  • 16 A nominal current rating.
  • 30 mA rated residual operating current.
  • Type A residual-current characteristic.
  • B curve overcurrent characteristic.
  • 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • 1 Pole + Neutral configuration.
  • DIN rail mounting for distribution boards and control panels.

Technical Specifications

  • Manufacturer: IMO Precision Controls

Combined Protection for Modern Electrical Circuits

An RCBO combines the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual-current device. It disconnects the protected circuit when it detects an overload, short circuit or potentially dangerous earth-leakage current, helping safeguard both the electrical installation and its users.

The Type A characteristic makes the IMO B6BRC1N16-30-A particularly relevant to modern electrical systems containing electronic components. These loads can generate pulsating DC residual currents that require appropriate Type A detection rather than basic AC-only residual-current protection.

Typical Applications

  • Commercial distribution boards.
  • Industrial control panels.
  • Lighting and LED driver circuits.
  • Socket-outlet and small-power circuits.
  • Building-services installations.
  • OEM machinery and automation equipment.
