Why Choose the Lovato P1RE1NB13A030 13 A 1P+N RCBO?
The Lovato P1RE1NB13A030 is a 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) that combines residual-current, overload and short-circuit protection in a single modular device. Part of the Lovato P1RE range, it has a rated current of 13 A and an IEC short-circuit rating of 10 kA.
This model combines a B tripping curve with a type A residual-current characteristic and a rated residual operating current of 30 mA. The type A characteristic is intended for detection of sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, making the RCBO suitable for appropriately specified modern single-phase electrical circuits.
Rated for 230 V AC at 50/60 Hz, the P1RE1NB13A030 occupies two DIN modules and mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Its compact combined-protection design is well suited to distribution boards and control panels where individual circuit protection and efficient use of enclosure space are important.

Combined Circuit and Residual-Current Protection
An RCBO combines the protective functions of a miniature circuit breaker and residual-current device within one unit. The P1RE1NB13A030 therefore protects its circuit against overloads and short circuits while simultaneously monitoring for residual current to earth, allowing individual circuits to receive combined protection from a single two-module device.
The 30 mA type A residual-current characteristic provides detection of sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, while the B curve defines the device's magnetic overcurrent tripping behaviour. With a 10 kA short-circuit rating, 13 A nominal current and DIN-rail construction, the P1RE1NB13A030 provides a compact protection solution for suitably designed 230 V AC circuits.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Industrial control panels.
- Building-services distribution systems.
- Machinery auxiliary circuits.
- Circuits requiring individual 30 mA residual-current protection.
- Applications requiring combined 13 A overload, short-circuit and earth-leakage protection.
