Product Description

Schneider Acti9 Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) is a safety device manufactured by Schneider Electric, engineered to detect earth leakage current and disconnect power to prevent electric shock and electrical fires. The RCCB monitors current flow and trips when it detects imbalance indicating leakage to earth.

Essential for modern electrical installations, Schneider Acti9 RCCB provides life-saving protection against electric shock in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Available in 2 Pole and 4 Pole configurations with 25A, 40A, and 63A current ratings, all at 30mA sensitivity, the quality Schneider Electric engineering ensures reliable operation for electrical installations in Bangalore requiring mandatory earth leakage protection.

Installation Guidelines

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Selection: Choose RCCB pole configuration and rating based on load current and sensitivity (30mA for shock protection)
2. Mounting: Snap RCCB onto DIN rail in distribution board
3. Wiring: Connect incoming supply and outgoing circuits according to markings
4. Testing: Test RCCB using test button monthly to ensure proper operation
5. Coordination: Install MCBs downstream of RCCB for overload protection

FAQs

1) How do I choose the right pole configuration and current rating?

Select 2 Pole for single-phase circuits or 4 Pole for three-phase circuits with neutral protection, then choose the current rating (25A, 40A, or 63A) to match your circuit load. All variants come with the standard 30mA sensitivity for shock protection. Use the Article Code from the table above to order the exact combination.

2) What is an RCCB and how does it work?

RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) detects earth leakage current by monitoring the difference between live and neutral currents. When leakage exceeds the rated sensitivity (typically 30mA), it trips to prevent electric shock.

3) What is the difference between MCB and RCCB?

MCB protects against overload and short circuit, while RCCB protects against earth leakage. Both are required for complete protection — RCCB prevents electric shock, MCB protects circuits from overcurrent.

4) Is RCCB mandatory for residential installations?

Yes, RCCB is mandatory for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens as per Indian electrical regulations. It's essential for preventing fatal electric shocks in areas where water contact is possible.

5) Why does my RCCB trip frequently?

Frequent tripping indicates earth leakage in your electrical system. This could be due to damaged insulation, faulty appliances, or moisture in wiring. Have a qualified electrician investigate and fix the leakage source.
