Genius RKP 1P+N C10A 300mA Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection

The Genius RKP 1P+N C10A 300mA is a high-performance residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection, commonly known as an RCBO. This device is engineered to provide comprehensive electrical safety by combining the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual current device into one compact unit. It is specifically designed for 1P+N electrical systems, ensuring that both phase and neutral conductors are monitored and protected against hazardous conditions.

Advantages

This integrated solution offers significant space savings in electrical distribution boards by replacing two separate devices with a single, streamlined component. It provides robust protection against short circuits and overloads, while simultaneously detecting leakage currents to prevent electrical shocks and fire hazards. The device is built for durability and consistent performance, making it a reliable choice for maintaining the integrity of electrical circuits in various environments.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical installations
• Commercial building distribution boards
• Protection of lighting and power circuits
• General electrical safety upgrades

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in industrial environments requiring high-amperage protection or specialized fault current characteristics. It is also unsuitable for systems where the leakage current threshold of 300mA is too high for the specific safety requirements of the application, such as in high-sensitivity medical or laboratory settings.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 10A
• Residual current sensitivity: 300mA
• Configuration: 1P+N (Single pole plus neutral)
• Trip characteristic: C-curve
• Function: Combined overcurrent and residual current protection

How to use

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within a distribution board. Ensure that the supply cables are correctly connected to the input terminals and that the load circuits are properly secured to the output terminals. After installation, the device should be tested using the integrated test button to verify its operational status.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 10A rating matches the load requirements of your circuit.
• Ensure the 300mA sensitivity is appropriate for your specific fire protection or equipment safety needs.
• Check that your distribution board has sufficient DIN rail space.
• Confirm compatibility with your existing electrical system configuration.

Usage recommendations

Regularly test the device using the built-in test button at least every six months to ensure the mechanical and electrical components remain functional and responsive to fault conditions.
