Why Choose the Lovato P1RE1NB16A030 16 A Type A RCBO?
The Lovato P1RE1NB16A030 is a 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to provide combined protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults. Part of the Lovato P1RE range, this compact modular device combines residual current and overcurrent protection within a single 2-module DIN rail unit.
Rated at 16 A, the P1RE1NB16A030 features a B tripping curve, Type A residual current characteristic and 30 mA rated residual operating current. Type A residual current protection is designed to respond to sinusoidal AC residual currents as well as pulsating DC residual currents, making the RCBO suitable for a wide range of modern electrical circuits and connected loads.
The device operates at 230 V AC with a rated frequency of 50/60 Hz and provides a 10 kA IEC short-circuit rating. With 35 mm DIN rail mounting, an IP20 frontal protection rating and an electrical life of 10,000 cycles, the P1RE1NB16A030 provides a compact protection solution for residential, commercial and industrial distribution boards.

Combined Overcurrent and Residual Current Protection
An RCBO combines the functions normally associated with miniature circuit breaker and residual current protection into one modular device. The Lovato P1RE1NB16A030 therefore protects its connected circuit against overloads and short circuits while also detecting residual earth leakage currents, helping provide comprehensive circuit protection without requiring separate MCB and residual current devices.
With its 16 A B-curve characteristic, 30 mA Type A residual protection and 10 kA short-circuit rating, the P1RE1NB16A030 is well suited to final circuit protection in modern electrical distribution systems. Its two-module 1P+N construction provides switched phase and neutral functionality in a compact DIN rail format for integration into compatible consumer units and distribution boards.
Typical Applications
- Residential electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial distribution boards.
- Industrial control and distribution panels.
- Final circuit protection.
- Lighting and general electrical circuits.
- Circuits requiring 30 mA Type A residual current protection.
