Why Choose the IMO B6CR1N10-30-A Type A RCBO?
The IMO B6CR1N10-30-A is a compact Type A residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect compatible single-phase circuits against overloads, short circuits and residual earth leakage currents. Combining MCB and RCD functionality within one DIN rail-mounted device helps simplify distribution-board layouts while providing comprehensive circuit protection.
Its Type A residual-current characteristic detects alternating sinusoidal residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents. This makes the RCBO suitable for many modern circuits containing electronic controls, LED drivers, switched-mode power supplies, appliances and automation equipment.
Featuring a 10 A rated current, C curve tripping characteristic, 30 mA residual-current sensitivity and 6 kA short-circuit capacity, the B6CR1N10-30-A is suited to control, lighting and general-purpose final circuits with moderate inrush currents.
Key Advantages
- Combines overload, short-circuit and residual-current protection in one device.
- Type A fault-current detection for AC and pulsating DC residual currents.
- C curve characteristic accommodates moderate starting currents.
- 10 A rated current for lighting, control and general-purpose circuits.
- 30 mA sensitivity provides additional protection against electric shock.
- 6 kA short-circuit capacity for dependable fault interruption.
- Compact DIN rail format helps conserve distribution-board space.

Combined Protection for Modern Electrical Circuits
The IMO B6CR1N10-30-A monitors both circuit current and residual leakage current. If an overload, short circuit or earth leakage fault occurs, the RCBO disconnects the protected circuit to help safeguard wiring, connected equipment and personnel.
Type A protection is particularly relevant for equipment containing electronic components because these loads can generate pulsating DC leakage currents. The C curve characteristic also provides tolerance for normal starting surges from contactors, transformers, power supplies and small inductive loads.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control circuits.
- Automation and machinery control panels.
- Commercial lighting circuits.
- LED driver and electronic power-supply circuits.
- Small motors, contactors and transformers.
- Commercial distribution boards.
- OEM machinery and electrical equipment.
- Building-services installations.
