Why Choose the Lovato P1RE1NC10A030 RCBO?
The Lovato P1RE1NC10A030 is a 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to combine overload, short-circuit and residual current protection in a single compact device. Part of the Lovato P1RE series, it occupies two DIN modules and provides a practical protection solution for single-phase distribution boards, control panels and electrical equipment.
Rated at 10 A, the P1RE1NC10A030 features a C tripping curve, 30 mA residual current sensitivity and Type A residual operating characteristic. Type A operation detects sinusoidal alternating residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents, making the RCBO suitable for appropriately specified circuits containing modern electronic equipment.
The P1RE1NC10A030 operates at 230 V AC and 50/60 Hz and provides a 10 kA IEC short-circuit rating. With IEC compliance, 35 mm DIN rail mounting, IP20 frontal protection and a mechanical life of 20,000 cycles, it provides robust combined protection for professional electrical installations.

Combined Overcurrent and Residual Current Protection
An RCBO combines the functions normally associated with miniature circuit breakers and residual current devices in one protective unit. The Lovato P1RE1NC10A030 therefore provides protection against overloads and short circuits while also monitoring the circuit for residual current. Its 30 mA residual current sensitivity can provide additional protection against electric shock when correctly selected and installed as part of the electrical installation.
The C tripping curve is commonly used for circuits with moderate inrush currents, while the Type A residual characteristic enables detection of both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. This combination makes the P1RE1NC10A030 a versatile choice for suitably rated single-phase circuits supplying electrical and electronic loads.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase electrical distribution boards.
- Industrial and commercial control panels.
- Circuits requiring combined 10 A overcurrent and 30 mA residual current protection.
- Electrical circuits supplying suitable electronic equipment.
- Machinery and automation control circuits.
- OEM electrical cabinets and equipment.
- Branch circuits requiring a compact 1P+N RCBO.
