Why Choose the Lovato P1RB1NC16AC030 RCBO?
The Lovato P1RB1NC16AC030 is a compact and dependable residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults. Part of the Lovato Electric P1RB series, it combines miniature circuit breaker and residual current protection within a single modular device.
This RCBO features a 1P+N configuration, with one protected phase pole and a simultaneously switched neutral conductor. Combining multiple protective functions in one device helps simplify distribution board design, reduce installation time and conserve valuable DIN rail space.
With a rated current of 16 A, a C tripping characteristic, Type AC residual current detection and a rated residual operating current of 30 mA, the P1RB1NC16AC030 is suitable for final circuits requiring additional protection against electric shock. Its 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity supports reliable fault interruption in commercial, industrial and residential electrical installations.
Key Advantages
- Combined protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults.
- 16 A rated current for general-purpose final circuits.
- C tripping characteristic suitable for loads with moderate starting currents.
- Type AC residual current protection for sinusoidal alternating leakage currents.
- 30 mA residual current sensitivity for additional personal protection.
- 10 kA breaking capacity for dependable short-circuit protection.
- Compact two-module DIN rail design.

Reliable Combined Circuit Protection
The Lovato P1RB1NC16AC030 combines thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection with residual current monitoring. It disconnects the protected circuit when an overload, short circuit or qualifying AC earth leakage fault is detected, helping protect wiring, equipment and people.
Its 30 mA residual current sensitivity makes it suitable for final circuits where additional protection against electric shock is required. Type AC protection is intended for circuits where sinusoidal alternating residual currents are expected and should be selected according to the connected load and installation requirements.
Typical Applications
- Residential consumer units.
- Commercial electrical distribution boards.
- Industrial control panels.
- Lighting circuits.
- Socket outlet circuits.
- General-purpose single-phase final circuits.
- Maintenance and replacement of existing P1RB installations.
