ELEKTROPLAST NEO Residual Current Circuit Breaker 40A 30mA 2-Pole Type AC

The ELEKTROPLAST NEO residual current circuit breaker is a high-quality 2-pole electrical safety device engineered to provide reliable protection in residential and commercial electrical systems. Designed for 40A circuits with a 30mA sensitivity threshold, this device acts as a critical safety barrier by monitoring the balance of electrical current. If a leakage current is detected, the unit automatically disconnects the power supply, effectively preventing potential electrical hazards and ensuring the safety of both users and connected equipment.

Advantages

This residual current circuit breaker offers robust performance and consistent reliability in various electrical environments. Its 2-pole configuration makes it suitable for standard single-phase installations, providing a compact and efficient solution for circuit protection. The Type AC classification ensures it is well-suited for detecting sinusoidal alternating residual currents, which are common in most household and office electrical appliances. By integrating this device into your electrical panel, you significantly reduce the risk of electric shock and fire caused by insulation faults.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial office building circuits
• Protection of single-phase household appliances
• General lighting and power outlet circuits

When it may not be suitable

This device is specifically designed for Type AC applications and may not provide adequate protection in circuits where DC components or pulsating direct currents are present, such as those involving advanced electronic speed controllers or specific EV charging equipment. It is also not intended for use in high-voltage industrial power grids or three-phase systems.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 40A
• Residual current sensitivity: 30mA
• Number of poles: 2
• Type: AC

How to use

The device must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution board. Once installed, the device should be connected to the incoming power supply and the load circuit. Regular testing is essential to ensure the mechanism remains functional; this is performed by pressing the integrated test button, which should trigger an immediate disconnection of the power supply.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 40A rating is appropriate for your circuit load
• Ensure the 30mA sensitivity meets your specific safety requirements
• Confirm that the installation environment is compatible with Type AC devices
• Check that your distribution board has sufficient space for a 2-pole module

Usage recommendations

It is recommended to perform a manual test of the residual current circuit breaker at least once every six months to verify the integrity of the tripping mechanism and ensure continued protection for your electrical installation.
