Lovato P1RD2P40A030 is a two-pole 40 A Type A residual current circuit breaker with 30 mA sensitivity and a 230 V AC operational voltage rating for residual-current protection in electrical installations.
£220.65
The Lovato P1RD2P40A030 is a two-pole Type A residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) designed to provide residual-current protection in industrial, commercial and electrical distribution systems. Part of the Lovato P1RD range, it combines a 40 A rated current with a sensitive 30 mA rated residual operating current for dependable earth-leakage protection.
Its Type A residual-current characteristic enables detection of sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents, making the P1RD2P40A030 suitable for modern electrical installations containing compatible electronic equipment. The device operates at 230 V AC and 50/60 Hz and provides a rated conditional short-circuit current of 10 kA when installed with the appropriate protective arrangement.
With a compact two-module, two-pole construction, 35 mm DIN rail mounting and IP20 frontal protection, the P1RD2P40A030 integrates efficiently into distribution boards and control panels where reliable residual-current protection is required.
The Lovato P1RD2P40A030 monitors the current balance between the conductors passing through the RCCB and disconnects the protected circuit when residual current reaches the device's operating threshold. Its 30 mA sensitivity makes it suitable for applications requiring sensitive residual-current protection as part of a correctly designed electrical installation.
The Type A characteristic provides detection of sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, extending its suitability beyond basic Type AC applications. As an RCCB, the P1RD2P40A030 is specifically intended for residual-current protection; appropriate overcurrent protective devices should also be provided where overload and short-circuit protection are required.

The P1RD2P40A030 is a two-pole Type A residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) rated at 40 A with a 30 mA rated residual operating current.
The Lovato P1RD2P40A030 has a rated current of 40 A.
The P1RD2P40A030 has a rated residual current IΔn of 30 mA.
Type A means the RCCB is designed to respond to sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents, making it suitable for a wider range of modern electrical loads than a basic Type AC device.
The P1RD2P40A030 has a rated operational voltage of 230 V AC and a rated frequency of 50/60 Hz.
The P1RD2P40A030 is an RCCB intended for residual-current protection. Appropriate overcurrent protection should be provided separately where overload and short-circuit protection are required.
The P1RD2P40A030 mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN rail and occupies two DIN modules within a suitable electrical distribution board or enclosure.
Lovato Electric residual current circuit breakers provide dependable earth-leakage protection for modern electrical installations, helping panel builders, machine manufacturers and electrical professionals create safe and reliable distribution systems.
