Why Choose the Lovato P1RE1NC20A030 RCBO?
The Lovato P1RE1NC20A030 is a compact and dependable residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to provide combined protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults in low-voltage electrical installations. As part of the Lovato Electric P1RE series, it combines miniature circuit breaker and residual current protection functions within a convenient two-module DIN rail device.
This RCBO features a Type A residual current characteristic, providing detection of both sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents commonly produced by modern electronic equipment. Its Curve C tripping characteristic makes it suitable for general-purpose circuits and loads with moderate starting currents while maintaining reliable overcurrent protection.
With a rated current of 20 A, a rated residual operating current of 30 mA and a 230 V AC rated operational voltage, the P1RE1NC20A030 is suitable for protecting single-phase final circuits in residential, commercial and industrial distribution systems. Its 10 kA short-circuit rating and 1P+N configuration provide robust circuit protection in a compact DIN rail format.
