Why Choose the Lovato P1RB1NC06AC030 RCBO?
The Lovato P1RB1NC06AC030 is a compact and reliable residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect electrical circuits against earth leakage, overloads and short circuits. Part of the professional Lovato Electric P1RB series, it combines residual current protection and miniature circuit breaker functions within a single DIN rail-mounted device.
Featuring a rated current of 6 A, a rated residual operating current of 30 mA and a Type C overcurrent tripping characteristic, the P1RB1NC06AC030 is suitable for low-current circuits supplying equipment with moderate starting currents. Its Type AC residual current characteristic provides protection against sinusoidal alternating residual currents.
The RCBO has a 1P+N configuration, occupies two DIN modules and provides a short-circuit breaking capacity of 10 kA. Its compact design makes it suitable for commercial distribution boards, industrial control panels, machinery circuits and other installations where reliable combined circuit protection is required.

Combined Residual Current and Overcurrent Protection
The Lovato P1RB1NC06AC030 combines the functions of a residual current device and a miniature circuit breaker. Its thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element rapidly disconnects the circuit during a high short-circuit current.
The residual current element continuously monitors the balance between the live and neutral conductors. If a sinusoidal alternating leakage current reaches the 30 mA trip threshold, the RCBO disconnects the circuit to help reduce the risk of electric shock and damage caused by earth faults.
Typical Applications
- Commercial electrical distribution boards.
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Machinery control and auxiliary circuits.
- Lighting circuits.
- Small power and socket circuits.
- Building control and automation systems.
- Manufacturing and processing equipment.
- Circuits requiring 30 mA Type AC residual current protection.
