Why Choose the Lovato P1RE1NC20AC030 RCBO?
The Lovato P1RE1NC20AC030 is a compact 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to combine residual-current, overload and short-circuit protection in a single modular device. Part of the Lovato P1RE series, it provides integrated protection for compatible single-phase electrical distribution and control circuits.
Rated at 20 A, the P1RE1NC20AC030 features a Type C tripping curve together with a rated residual operating current of 30 mA. Its Type AC residual-current characteristic is designed to respond to sinusoidal alternating residual currents, providing high-sensitivity earth-leakage protection for suitable conventional AC circuits.
Designed for 230 V AC operation at 50/60 Hz, this RCBO combines multiple circuit-protection functions in a convenient DIN rail format. Standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting makes it straightforward to integrate into distribution boards, industrial control panels and machine electrical systems.

Reliable Combined Circuit Protection
The Lovato P1RE1NC20AC030 combines miniature circuit-breaker and residual-current protection functions within one RCBO. Its Type C tripping characteristic provides overload and short-circuit protection, while the 30 mA Type AC residual-current function detects sinusoidal alternating earth-leakage currents.
Combining these functions in a single modular device helps simplify electrical panel design while providing dedicated protection for individual circuits. With its 20 A current rating, 10 kA IEC short-circuit rating and 230 V AC operation, the P1RE1NC20AC030 is a practical solution for appropriately engineered single-phase distribution and control applications.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase electrical distribution circuits.
- Industrial control and auxiliary circuits.
- Commercial electrical distribution boards.
- Machine and equipment electrical panels.
- Branch circuits requiring combined overcurrent and residual-current protection.
- Applications requiring 20 A Type C protection with 30 mA Type AC residual-current sensitivity.
