Genius RKP 1P+N C20A 30mA Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection

The Genius RKP 1P+N C20A 30mA is a high-performance residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO), engineered to safeguard electrical circuits in both residential and commercial environments. This device integrates the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual current device into a single compact unit, providing comprehensive protection against overloads, short circuits, and dangerous earth leakage currents. By monitoring the electrical flow, it automatically disconnects the power supply when a fault is detected, significantly reducing the risk of electrical fires and electric shocks.

Advantages

This RCBO offers a space-saving solution by combining two essential safety functions into one module, which simplifies installation and optimizes space within the distribution board. Its robust design ensures reliable operation under standard electrical loads, providing consistent protection for connected appliances and wiring systems. The 30mA sensitivity threshold is specifically calibrated to provide human protection against indirect contact, making it an essential component for modern electrical safety standards.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial office power circuits
• Protection of individual lighting or socket circuits
• Renovation projects requiring compact safety devices

This device may not be suitable for industrial applications requiring high breaking capacities or specialized environments with extreme temperature fluctuations or high levels of vibration. It is also not intended for use in DC-only electrical systems or circuits exceeding its rated current capacity.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 20A
• Residual current sensitivity: 30mA
• Configuration: 1P+N (Single pole plus neutral)
• Tripping characteristic: C-curve
• Function: Combined overcurrent and residual current protection

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is mounted onto a standard DIN rail within a distribution enclosure. Ensure that the supply cables are securely fastened to the terminals and that the wiring matches the input and output markings on the unit. Periodically test the device using the integrated test button to verify the mechanical functionality of the tripping mechanism.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 20A rating matches the requirements of your circuit load
• Ensure compatibility with your existing distribution board and DIN rail system
• Confirm that the 30mA sensitivity is appropriate for the intended application
• Check local electrical codes regarding the use of RCBOs in your specific region

Usage recommendations

Regularly press the test button at least once every six months to ensure the internal mechanism remains operational and the device trips correctly under fault conditions.
