Genius RKP 1P+N C25A 30mA Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection

The Genius RKP 1P+N C25A 30mA is a high-performance residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO), engineered to provide comprehensive electrical safety in residential and commercial environments. This device integrates the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual current device into a single compact unit, effectively protecting electrical circuits against both overloads and short circuits while simultaneously detecting dangerous leakage currents. By monitoring the balance of current in the circuit, it quickly disconnects the power supply in the event of a fault, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock and fire.

Advantages

This RCBO offers a space-saving design that simplifies installation in distribution boards by combining two essential safety functions into one module. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation under standard electrical loads, providing consistent protection for connected appliances and wiring. The 30mA sensitivity threshold is specifically calibrated to provide human protection against indirect contact, making it an essential component for modern electrical safety standards. The device is built to withstand daily operational demands, ensuring long-term durability and peace of mind for property owners.

Suitable for

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

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in industrial environments with high-power machinery that requires higher rated currents or different tripping characteristics. It is also not suitable for three-phase electrical systems, as it is specifically designed for single-phase 1P+N configurations.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 25A
• Residual current sensitivity: 30mA
• Configuration: 1P+N (Single-phase with neutral)
• Protection type: Overload, short-circuit, and residual current
• Tripping characteristic: C-curve

How to use

Installation should 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 enclosure. Ensure that the supply cables are correctly connected to the input terminals and that the load circuit is securely attached to the output terminals. After installation, the device should be tested using the integrated test button to verify that the tripping mechanism functions correctly.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 25A rated current matches the requirements of your specific circuit
• Ensure your distribution board has a standard DIN rail mounting system
• Confirm that your electrical system is a single-phase 1P+N setup
• Check local building codes regarding the mandatory use of RCBOs in your area

Usage recommendations

Regularly test the device using the test button at least every six months to ensure the mechanical tripping mechanism remains operational and responsive to fault conditions.
