Why Choose the Lovato P1RD2P25A300 Residual Current Device?
The Lovato P1RD2P25A300 is a compact two-pole residual current device (RCD/RCCB) designed to detect earth-leakage currents and automatically disconnect the protected circuit when the residual current reaches its operating threshold. Part of the Lovato P1RD series, it provides Type A residual-current protection for electrical distribution, industrial control and equipment installations.
Rated at 25 A with a rated residual operating current of 300 mA, the P1RD2P25A300 is intended for applications requiring earth-fault and leakage-current protection at this sensitivity level. Its Type A characteristic detects both sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents, making it suitable for circuits containing many types of modern electronic equipment.
The two-pole configuration enables simultaneous disconnection of the active conductors in compatible single-phase circuits. Its modular construction is designed for standard 35 mm DIN rail installation, allowing straightforward integration into distribution boards, industrial control panels and machine electrical systems.

Reliable Residual-Current Protection
Residual current devices such as the Lovato P1RD2P25A300 continuously monitor the balance of current flowing through the active conductors of a circuit. When leakage to earth produces a residual-current imbalance that reaches the device's operating threshold, the RCD disconnects the circuit to reduce the risks associated with earth faults and insulation failures.
The Type A characteristic extends detection beyond sinusoidal AC leakage to include pulsating DC residual currents that may be produced by electronic equipment. Combined with its 300 mA sensitivity, 25 A rating and two-pole construction, the P1RD2P25A300 provides dependable residual-current protection for suitable industrial and electrical distribution applications.
